Metro owns and operates the Oregon Convention Center and the Portland Metropolitan Exposition Center and operates the Portland Center for the Performing Arts.

From home and garden shows to the symphony, manufacturing trade shows to rock concerts, business seminars to antiques shows, Metro's regional arts, convention and exhibition facilities host hundreds of events each year. Chances are you’ve been our guest at least once. The regional public assembly facilities are managed by the Metropolitan Exposition Recreation Commission (MERC), a subsidiary of Metro.
