Sunday Evening

One of the best ways to reduce stress at any conference is to arrive the day before. Getting your travel, hotel check-in, and registration sorted early means you can start Monday focused and ready to go — and Summit moves fast from the moment it begins.

If you’re in town Sunday evening, we invite you to join us at the Seattle Bellevue Marriott for the welcome reception, sponsored by Pure Storage.

We’ll have light snacks and a mix of beverage options — both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. If you’re not drinking, you’re absolutely not alone. Check out #sober-summiteers in Slack to connect with others who are skipping the bar and still having a great time.

Think of Sunday as your warm-up. It’s a great opportunity to: - Meet new people - Reconnect with familiar faces - Talk about what you’re excited to learn - Compare (and reconsider) your session plans in the Official Schedule

Most importantly, it’s your chance to ease into Summit at your own pace.

Badge Pickup

We strongly recommend picking up your badge on Sunday evening to avoid the Monday morning rush.

You’ll find the registration table outside the reception area — just follow the signs. Be sure to bring your registration QR code.

What to Expect

This isn’t a large, formal event. The space is relaxed, and people tend to come and go throughout the evening. Many attendees will head out in small groups for dinner or continue conversations elsewhere.

Pre-registration is offered as a convenience, and full registration will also be available Monday morning outside the breakfast area.

Stay Updated

Check the official schedule or Slack for pre-registration times and any updates. If you’re unsure where to go, stop by the hotel bar area — there’s a good chance you’ll find fellow Summiteers (and someone who can point you in the right direction).
