The Win

The Summit is now one of the best large convention facilities on the West Coast. The Arch as a commons creates adjacent overflow capacity — smaller breakouts, receptions, cultural programming that complements the main convention schedule. Groups that outgrew Seattle before the Summit opened may now find Seattle can accommodate both the conference and the evening program. A more complete destination is a more bookable destination.
