Mark Your Calendar: DSA/MID Annual Meeting & Party Set for June 25

The DSA/MID Annual Meeting & Party is back, and this year, it’s set against the backdrop of one of the most exciting summers downtown Seattle has seen.

Join us on Thursday, June 25, from 3-7 p.m. at the Bell Harbor International Conference Center’s Elliott Hall, located at 2211 Alaskan Way, for an afternoon and evening of community, celebration and a look at the year ahead.

The program runs from 4-5 p.m. and will feature remarks from DSA President & CEO Jon Scholes, who will highlight the organization’s key accomplishments over the past year and share priorities for the fiscal year ahead. We’ll also celebrate the people at the heart of everything we do — our downtown ambassadors — and announce the winner of the 2026 DSA/MID Lee Townsend Ambassador of the Year award. New board leadership will be welcomed as well.

Registration opens on Tuesday, May 5.

“This is one of my favorite events of the year because it gives us a chance to step back, recognize the progress we’ve made together and look ahead with real excitement,” Scholes said. “With everything happening downtown this summer, there’s a lot to celebrate, and a lot to look forward to.”

Before and after the program, guests are invited to enjoy indoor-outdoor networking receptions along the waterfront, complete with food, drinks and music. Doors open at 3 p.m., with the post-program reception running from 5-7 p.m.

This event is open exclusively to DSA members and MID ratepayers. Individual tickets are $90, or reserve a row of eight for $750. Ticket costs help cover refreshments and event fees.

We hope to see you on June 25 for an evening that celebrates community, honors the work of our ambassadors and looks ahead to an exciting future for downtown Seattle.
