About the Urban Leadership Series
This series was created as a unique forum for the technology community, business owners, corporate and government officials to connect over hot topics and common issues that are happening in the Puget Sound region. The Urban Leadership Series will feature some of today’s most dynamic technology and business leaders, as well as government officials who will share their insights on the present and the future of technology, economic, policy, and environmental trends and issues that we need to be aware of in order to prosper in this technological and global economy that we live in today.
