Plan your trip

A range of accommodation options near the venue and across key areas.
The Westin Seattle
USD 480–520 / night
Staying here means an elevator ride from your room to the session floor; factor in Washington state and Seattle lodging taxes and confirm the cancellation window.
Kimpton Palladian Hotel
USD 175–220 / night
Walkable to The Westin Seattle in roughly 10-15 minutes, which keeps you out of downtown traffic while staying close to Pike Place restaurants in the evening.
The Westin Bellevue
USD 175–220 / night
Good if you are also visiting Eastside tech employers, but adds a 25-40 minute drive across I-90 or SR-520 plus downtown parking each conference day.
Hotel Max
USD 140–200 / night
Rooms are small, so this suits solo attendees who mainly need a bed and desk.
Hyatt Regency Seattle
USD 230–320 / night
A large full-service conference property roughly 12-15 minutes on foot from The Westin Seattle, a sensible fallback when the host hotel block is full.
Get around the city with these convenient transport options.
Link 1 Line light rail (Sound Transit)
Runs roughly every 8-15 minutes for much of the day and takes about 40 minutes airport to Westlake; from Westlake Station it is a 5-8 minute walk to The Westin Seattle. Best option if you land before midnight.
King County Metro bus
Useful for short hops between downtown, Capitol Hill, South Lake Union and the University District. Pay with an ORCA card or the Transit GO Ticket app rather than cash for speed.
Taxi or rideshare
Rideshare pickup is on the third floor of the airport parking garage. Downtown to the airport in the early morning is usually 20-30 minutes, but allow 40-45 minutes for weekday rush hour.
Seattle Center Monorail
A 2-minute ride for evening plans at Seattle Center or Climate Pledge Arena; the Westlake station entrance is a short walk from The Westin Seattle.
Seattle Streetcar (First Hill and South Lake Union lines)
Handy for evening dinners in South Lake Union or Capitol Hill without a car. Headways are usually 10-15 minutes, so check the current timetable.
Driving and parking at the venue
Downtown Seattle garages fill quickly on weekday mornings. If you drive, arrive 30-45 minutes before your first session and expect tight turning radii in older garages.

Weather
Early May in downtown Seattle is a spring shoulder-season period: daytime highs commonly in the 16-18 C (61-64 F) range, overnight lows near 8-9 C (46-49 F), and a mix of bright spells and light rain rather than all-day downpours. Daylight is long, with sunset after 20:30, which makes evening walks to Pike Place or the waterfront easy. Session rooms at The Westin Seattle are indoors and can be cool with air conditioning, so weather mainly affects arrival, lunchtime walks and any evening reception. These are seasonal expectations, not an official forecast; check a local forecast in the final 72 hours.
Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly
Venue connectivity
Downtown Seattle has strong LTE and 5G coverage across all major US carriers, so a US eSIM or travel SIM will work reliably around The Westin Seattle and the convention core. Hotel and meeting-room Wi-Fi is typically included for conference attendees but can slow down when a full session block is uploading or streaming; for live demos or heavy uploads, carry a mobile hotspot or tether from your phone. Power outlets in older hotel meeting rooms are limited, so a small power bank and a short extension cord are worth packing. US electrical outlets are Type A/B at 120 V, and most laptop and phone chargers are dual-voltage, but check plug adapters if you are arriving from Europe or Asia.
Ride-hailing

Car rentals
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Tipping and paying
Seattle follows US tipping norms: 18-20 percent at sit-down restaurants, a dollar or two per drink at bars, and taxis or rideshares usually default to a 15-20 percent suggestion in the app. Cards and mobile wallets are accepted almost everywhere, but keep a little cash for small counters.
Business dress
Pacific Northwest business style is deliberately understated. Smart casual with layers is the safest choice for a digital marketing conference: chinos or dark jeans with a blazer, a dress with a cardigan, and comfortable shoes for walking between venues. Full suits are rare outside formal agency pitches.
Coffee and meeting culture
Coffee meetings are a standard networking format in Seattle, and many attendees will suggest a walk to a nearby cafe between sessions. Arrive on time, expect counter service rather than table service at many specialty shops, and treat the coffee break as a real meeting slot in your schedule.
Getting around and local etiquette
Locals queue politely, keep right on escalators and are generally reserved until introduced. Tap an ORCA card or phone on buses and light rail rather than paying cash. Downtown Seattle has a visible street population in some blocks, especially near 3rd Avenue; standard city awareness applies, and the walk between The Westin Seattle and Pike Place is busy and well lit during conference hours.
Weather and wardrobe reality
Seattleites rarely carry umbrellas in heavy rain, but visitors should. A light water-resistant shell with a hood is more useful than an umbrella in the wind near the waterfront, and layers matter because indoor meeting rooms are often cooler than the street.
Practical guides
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Seattle-Tacoma International (SEA) is the primary arrival point, with Paine Field (PAE) serving a small number of domestic routes. For the 6 May 2027 arrival, Google Flights captures showed 12 results from New York JFK with nonstop itineraries around 6 hr 15 min (departures listed at 7:00 AM, 11:30 AM and 1:00 PM) and connecting options via CLT at about 9 hr 3 min; 8 results from London LHR, including nonstop British Airways and Alaska options of roughly 9 hr 45 min to 10 hr 10 min and one-stop routings via KEF or DUB of 12 hr 50 min or more, with prices flagged as currently low; and nonstop Alaska or Delta service from Tokyo NRT of about 8 hr 50 min to 9 hr 30 min, with one-stop options via YVR, MNL or TPE from around 13 hr 20 min. Fares were not surfaced in the capture text, so track the route in Google Flights and book when the price sits below the typical range. Arriving the afternoon of 5 May leaves buffer for delays before the 6 May start, and booking a refundable or changeable fare is worth it if your session schedule is still in flux.
Get to the venue and around the city with these options.
Airport → venue: Use the nearest international airport serving Seattle; Metro, train or taxi links are typically available to the venue district.
Hotel → venue: Precinct hotels near Westin Seattle: Downtown Seattle, 1900 5th Avenue (the host venue): The Westin Seattle; Belltown, 2nd Avenue near Pike Place Market: Kimpton Palladian Hotel; Bellevue, Eastside across Lake Washington: The Westin Bellevue.
Ride-hail: Uber and Lyft both operate throughout Seattle, including at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, where pickups are staged on the third floor of the parking garage. A downtown-to-downtown trip, for example from The Westin Seattle to South Lake Union or Capitol Hill, is usually a short 8-15 minute ride; airport runs are 20-30 minutes in normal traffic. Expect surge pricing around conference close, major stadium events and weekday rush hour, and confirm the fare and pickup pin in the app before requesting.
Public transit: Downtown Seattle is well served by Sound Transit Link light rail and King County Metro buses, plus the Seattle Center Monorail and the First Hill and South Lake Union streetcars. Westlake Station, a few blocks from The Westin Seattle, is the main downtown hub connecting the airport line with buses and the monorail. Pay with an ORCA card or contactless tap; adult Link fares to downtown are around USD 3 and Metro buses around USD 2.75. Use the Sound Transit trip planner or King County Metro's trip planner to check headways, since evening frequencies drop after the peak.
Parking: The Westin Seattle operates an on-site garage at 1900 5th Avenue with valet and self-park options; downtown hotel parking commonly runs around USD 30-50 per day, and event-day rates can differ from overnight guest rates. Confirm current pricing and garage height restrictions with the hotel before driving in. Nearby commercial garages along 5th and 6th Avenue offer hourly parking, but weekday morning capacity is tight. If you are staying in Bellevue, factor in Eastside parking plus a bridge crossing and downtown parking on top.
Plan and pack for the event climate.
Month: May 2027 (event dates 6-7 May, early spring in Seattle)
Temperature: Typical early May range in Seattle: afternoon highs around 16-18 C (61-64 F) and overnight lows near 8-9 C (46-49 F). These are climatological expectations rather than an official forecast for the event dates, so check a local forecast in the final week and expect day-to-day swings of a few degrees.
Seasonality: Early May sits in Seattle's spring shoulder season, when light rain and passing showers are common but rarely last all day. Cloud cover changes quickly, and a bright morning can turn showery by mid-afternoon. Indoor sessions at The Westin Seattle are unaffected, but plan a water-resistant layer for the 10-15 minute walks to Pike Place Market, the waterfront and nearby coffee shops.
Packing: Pack layered business casual: a blazer or cardigan over shirts and light knits, chinos or dark jeans, and comfortable walking shoes for downtown blocks and the market's uneven pavements. Add a compact water-resistant jacket with a hood, a small umbrella for still days, and a sweater for air-conditioned meeting rooms that can run cool. A reusable water bottle and a power bank round out the kit for two long conference days.

Day 14 - Book your flight into Seattle-Tacoma International (SEA) so you land the afternoon before day one rather than the morning of.
Day 13 - Reserve a downtown hotel room; The Westin Seattle is the venue, with the Kimpton Palladian and other Belltown/Pike Place properties as walkable alternates.
Day 12 - Check your passport validity and, for international attendees, confirm your US ESTA or B-1 visitor visa status is approved rather than pending.
Day 11 - Review the published schedule and shortlist two sessions per time block, so you are not choosing between tracks in the hallway.
Day 10 - Set up an ORCA card or load a transit card on your phone for Link light rail and King County Metro buses.
Day 9 - Draft your goals for the trip: specific vendors to evaluate, metrics questions to answer, and five people you want to meet.; Day 8 - Update your LinkedIn headline and prepare a short mobile-friendly contact card or QR code for networking.
Day 7 - Check the Seattle forecast and pack layers plus a water-resistant jacket; early May alternates between sun and light rain.
Day 6 - Download offline maps and the ride-hailing apps you plan to use, and save the venue address (1900 5th Avenue, Seattle) for drivers.
Day 5 - Prepare note-taking templates for each session: problem, tactic, tool mentioned, and follow-up action.
Day 4 - Confirm your return flight timing leaves room for the second day's afternoon sessions.
Day 3 - Charge power banks and pack a laptop or tablet if you plan to capture notes or demo tools during breaks.
Day 14 - Confirm your pass is purchased and the confirmation email is saved offline; check whether your tier includes recorded sessions or an evening reception.; Day 2 - Recheck the organiser site for any schedule change, room reassignment or security/bag policy notice.
