Our Entrepreneurial Spirit
is Alive and Well

With a track record of leading a successful event management company, our team was approached by the Port of Seattle to provide insights into the key elements of an exceptional conference center. Our resolute answer, "it is all about the team and the guests," continues to be the cornerstone of our approach. As the conference center planning continued, Columbia Hospitality submitted a proposal to serve as the operator. When questioned by the Port about our suitability for the job, our response was simple yet compelling: while we may not have prior experience in this specific domain, our unparalleled understanding of the client's needs sets us apart. This conviction, along with our extensive global experience in organizing events, convinced the Port to award us the contract. Today, decades later, we proudly maintain that job.
