Business Trip Guide
Conference Planning
Greater Seattle is a fabulous location for a conference or convention. It is also a very popular location, so booking early is advised. Given its fantastic surrounding scenery, cosmopolitan dynamism, abundant choices of entertainment, shopping centers, fine dining and friendly atmosphere, it is not surprising such high profile conferences, global summits and cutting-edge industry conventions have chosen Greater Seattle to bring world leaders, industry gurus and important business clients together.
Some of these more historic meetings include: APEC (Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation) in 1994, The Quadrilateral Ministerial Summit between the European Union, Canada, US and Japan in 1997, the World Trade Organization's Ministerial Meeting in 1999, and the Asian Development Bank's Annual Meeting in 2001.
Note: If you require simmultaneous interpretations for your meetings, conference or convention, the Bell Harbor International Conference Center is the choice on the West Coast.
