2012 National Conference

The GEO Conference Host Committee welcomes you to Seattle, as we kick off the National Conference at the new Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation campus — across from the Seattle Center in the heart of the city. Join us for an evening of networking, conversation and light refreshments with the Seattle Space Needle as the backdrop.

The reception will feature opening remarks from Bill Gates, Sr. and David Bley of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and live entertainment provided by Gansango Music and Dance and the world renowned Garfield High School Jazz Combo.

For those wishing to explore the Seattle Monorail system, GEO staff members will be leaving from the hotel lobby beginning at 5:30 p.m. Complimentary Monorail tickets will be available at the registration desk on Monday, March 12. Shuttle bus service is also available; with the first bus departing the Westin at 5:45 p.m. Return service to the Westin will begin at 8:15 p.m.

Don’t forget to wear your conference badge!
Only conference attendees and their pre-registered guests will be allowed to enter.
