Who can attend Chamber events?

Chamber events are typically intended only for representatives of companies that are members of the Seattle Metropolitan Chamber. Occasionally our events are open to non-members and some events may be attended on a one-time basis by non-members wishing to "try us out."

Find out more about the benefits of Chamber membership and how your company can become a member by calling the Membership Hotline at (206) 389-7236.

How to register and pay for events

        Event Registrar

Please indicate the event you are registering for as well as your name and company plus the name and company for any additional registrants.

Severe weather policy

Driving conditions may vary greatly for event participants depending on where they live or work. As long as it is reasonably possible, Chamber events will take place as scheduled.

For morning events (programs that start before 11 a.m.): The Seattle Metropolitan Chamber follows the Seattle Public Schools closure decision. If the Seattle Public School System is closed due to severe weather, morning events will be cancelled. If the Seattle Public School System is delayed Chamber events will go on as scheduled.

For events starting later in the day (programs that start after 11 a.m.): If schools of the Seattle Public School System are open, events will take place as scheduled. If Seattle schools are closed, call the event registrar to find out whether the event will go on as scheduled.

Policy on accessibility

Events are held in physically accessible locations. If you require an assistant because of limitations of mobility, vision or hearing, we welcome you to register your assistant, in advance, at no cost.

Cancellations

No cash refunds will be made for cancelled registrations, but substitutions are welcome.

Unless otherwise stated, a credit for a cancelled registration will be allowed provided the cancellation request is received by the event registrar at least one full business day prior to the start of the event.

Use of Coupons

Contact information

Attendees at our events are encouraged to exchange business cards for the purpose of building a network of referrals. It is the policy of the Seattle Metropolitan Chamber not to distribute email addresses and phone numbers of participants to other event attendees.
