[Update: We’re in the west conference room, just to the left of Starbucks]
Here’s a friendly reminder that we have a big meetup tonight— guest speakers include Sound Transit CEO Joni Earl and WSDOT Transportation Secretary Paula Hammond, who will be centering their talks on women in transportation. This is a very good opportunity to meet two big-hitters in the field of regional transportation so come prepared with any questions you might have for our guests.
Along with the all-star cast, we’ve also secured an all-star venue. The meetup will start at 6pm at the Columbia Center’s 40th floor conference center, although early arrival is encouraged if you would like to get snacks and refreshments. Use the express elevators which says floors 37-76 above them. Elevators lock down at 6:15 so we’ll have someone located in the lobby to help stragglers get up.
We hope to see you there.

Have a good party tonight!
Timely post over at the Atlantic.

My first meetup. Anything I need to know about meetups in general?
Not really. Just come and enjoy.
Take some video for us out-of-towners!! :)
If they don’t mind, my phone can shoot 1080p video
How late will you guys be staying? I sadly planned something at 5:30 as well…
It it mostly transit buffs or transit professionals who go to these? A mix of both?
