TAUS USER CONFERENCE 2012

Seattle, WA (USA), October 15 - 16, 2012 



VENUE

The TAUS User Conference 2012 will be held at the only waterfront hotel in Seattle: The Edgewater. The hotel is a local landmark as it was built originally for the World’s Fair in 1962. 

The Beatles stayed in the Edgewater in 1964 during their first world tour. The picture of the four fishing from their window has become legendary.

The Edgewater features clear views of Puget Sound, the Olympic Mountains and downtown Seattle.
