“Krista LeZotte, CMP, CSEP, DES, ASHA’s senior director of conventions and meetings, has been at the association for two years, and while she wasn’t part of the original team that selected Seattle as the site for ASHA 2024, she embraced the challenge, she told Convene. Because of the size of ASHA’s meeting, she was used to thinking of the space needed to accommodate it in terms of a campus, she said, ‘but usually with a convention center, and maybe one or two hotels that are a stone’s throw away. This was the first time that we had two convention centers.’ Both convention center buildings have the advantages of lots of natural light, access to green space, and are embedded in Seattle’s vibrant downtown. But the Summit building, a six-level glass-walled building filled with reclaimed wood, gorgeous textiles, and art, is a star — since its opening in January 2023, the building has won a slew of awards, including a 2022 World Design Award and 2024 Metropolis Magazine Planet Positive Award.”
