Subscribe to Biznik community-builders forum Larger event space in Seattle or Bellevue?

Back in December I took up a role as program director for Social Media Club Seattle. Our January event sold out with 175 and our February event just sold out with 100.

Unfortunately being a popular social media event comes with some issues, one of them is finding new and unique places that fit in with the culture.

For March and April I am looking for an location to host our next events that is A) quiet and B) has either a presentation area or C) is part of a business involved in social media/technology. It also needs to hold at least a hundred people. I would suspect we can fill a room with 100 to 200 people consistently.

Our events are switching back and forth each month between networking and education.

We are also planning to hold smaller events that are less formal and for 20-30 in a classroom setting.

If you know of any businesses or event locations that would like to get some immediate press coverage, please let me know. Our first meeting had dozens of tweets and news/PR folk at it, and they are more than happy to support the businesses involved.

    Hey Barry... I think you need to come to the Oscar party this Sunday. This venue is outstanding, flexible, and has a very enthusiastic owner.

    Never been there before... should be a good location & event to attend.

    I stuck my name on the list.

    Thanks for pointing it out (usually I ignore Sunday events.... nothing interesting ever seems to happen on Sunday evenings, darn Oscars are ruining my boring Sundays)

    We have space for 100 or so at SPACE in Greenwood.

    You can set up a presentation area. We have tables and chairs for about 50 so I guess you'd need a few extra.

    We'd LOVE the publicity here.

    Give me a call - 206-818-1902.!
