2600 Seattle Monthly Meeting

2600 Meetings exist as a forum for all interested in technology to meet and talk about events in technology-land, learn, and teach. Meetings are open to anyone of any age or level of expertise.

The Seattle meeting is one of the longest-running and most well-established 2600 meetings in the country, with an average turnout of more than twenty attendees.

2600 meetings are held the first Friday of every month at the Washington State Convention and Trade Center, which has excellent transportation connections from the greater Puget Sound area.Most people begin to show up around 6pm. We now meet on the second floor, at the tables behind the escalators.

It’s a common misconception that 2600 meetings involve lawlessness and mayhem. If these are your interests, you will not only be disappointed, but will probably be banned from the meeting by the Convention Center’s Security Team. Conversely, if you are the kind of person who takes things apart to learn how they work, you delight in discovering how things operate “behind the scenes,” and you question not just “how” but also “why,” you’re a hacker–even if you don’t do anything illegal! At the Seattle 2600 meeting, unlike almost anywhere else, you won’t be considered weird or dangerous for being who you are. Instead, you’ll discover that you’re not alone, you’ll learn new things, and–most importantly–you’ll have a lot of fun!
