Who Needs the Oscars When You’ve Got Seattle?

A bunch of striking Hollywood writers--and the directors who are consequently out of work--must have moved to Seattle for the Professional Convention Management Association Annual Meeting the week before last. Even an Oscar-winning director--make that directors—couldn’t have orchestrated a better meeting. It took some 650 volunteers, a team of Seattle hospitality executives, and an incredible PCMA staff to pull off one of the best industry meetings I’ve been to in a long time.
