An invitation hard to resist.

This summer, Seattle celebrates the 50^th Anniversary of the 1962 Seattle World’s Fair. We thought this would offer us a great opportunity to take a fresh new look at the city, and boy, we are not disappointed. Seattle is a vibrant city with fabulous venues, amazing new exhibitions, an exciting food scene, and attractions galore. With so many unique options to attract attendees and entertain them before, during or after the event, how can you resist an invitation to meet in Seattle?
