Seattle & King County 2023 Data Symposium

June 29, 2023

Thank you to those who joined us for this year’s program. Historically designed for our hotel and hospitality partners, we expanded the content at this year’s event with data relevant to the greater tourism economy including attractions, restaurants, retail, and more. Our speakers provided economic insights and forecasts, updates on major destination demand drivers, and perspectives on the continued recovery of our city and region.

It was wonderful to see so many industry colleagues at this year’s event, and we hope the content detailed below will be helpful as you re-forecast the remainder of the year and begin budget preparations for 2024.
