Sleeping In Seattle

07.15.2009 | Comments Off

I always like visiting this city and I spend a lot of time there at conferences at one of my favorite locations, Bell Harbor International Conference Center. I will be headed there again to attend a tech conference next month and look forward to going to Pike Place Market and being in downtown Seattle. If nothing else I can hardly wait to experience the coffee and seafood I get to have while there. The Bell Harbor International Conference Center was one of the first places I attended where I truly knew I was in a facility that catered to the technological set. From their comfortable chairs to their location on the water I knew this was a place to hold a technology event. They state on their site itself:

Guests who book a meeting or event at Bell Harbor will have access to some of the most technologically advanced space on the West Coast. Operated by an expert onsite technology team, our property features full-service state-of-the-art presentation equipment including:
