Fall is cascading like the Snoqualmie River and while Seattle’s autumn foliage changes from verdant green to apple red, an annual migration is taking place.
These are creative conference-goers — creators, designers, marketers, strategists, innovators and influencers, eager to converge on a city and a bounty of freshly curated discoveries that only Seattle can harvest.
The Seattle Interactive Conference 2018 reconvenes at The Conference Center across the SkyBridge from the Convention Center, October 17 and 18, bringing together 150+ speakers in more than 100 sessions.
