No matter how you describe it, Seattle is truly one of the most popular cities in the world. The scenery is exhilarating, the culture is cutting-edge and the shopping rocks.
Seattle is anything but ordinary. It's a place where bike messengers share elevators with world-renowned researchers. Where fishermen have lunch alongside top surgeons. It's a city where the extraordinary is commonplace and commonplace is anything but. And if you look closely, you just might discover that in Seattle there are amazing things happening all around you.

Right in the center of downtown Seattle and right in the middle of it all!
No need for shuttles at ATA 2008, hotels are just across the street. Pike Place Market is a short and lovely stroll down to the water front and you can hop over to the Space Needle on the Monorail. Nordstrom’s flagship store is a block away. Seattle is known as one of the most walkable cities in the country.
The Convention Center itself is uniquely designed to cut down on walking with a “stacked floorplan” which puts ATA’s meeting rooms, exhibit hall and plenary sessions all within a few steps of one another. |
