Just as the 1962 Seattle World’s Fair focused on innovation and the future, the Next 50 devotes the month of September to Commerce and the Innovation Economy. Trade summits, high level discussions, career development activities, startup weekends and lively forums will consider the place of alternative energies, transportation, IT, global development, women and much more in future regional prosperity.
The most event-packed month of the Next 50 provides many opportunities for the Seattle community to engage, participate and learn about the place of regional innovation, education/training, entrepreneurship, infrastructure and immigrant contributions to the sustainability of Washington State and the world beyond.
