Panel and Moderated Discussion - “Seattle Inc.”
The phenomenon of regional technology clusters is well studied. Does Seattle also have a regional retail cluster? Is there a “ Seattle way of doing business” – a “Seattle Inc.”? If so, what are its characteristics, and what are its roots? Are there significant interactions between the technology cluster and the retail cluster? For example, is the Seattle retail cluster a leader in technology integration?

Participant Structure
Symposium activities will take place with participants grouped at three different levels. During Plenary Sessions and subsequent Moderated Panel Discussions, symposium attendees will participate as a single group. For other activities, symposium participants (assume 50) will be divided into five teams and further subdivided into two squads per team, resulting in 10 squads of five participants each (Figure 1). Included in each squad will be one doctoral student who will act as its “scribe”. In return for funding and participation in the symposium, the doctoral student will be committed to producing a five-page summary (over a reasonable time period) of the squad’s discussion and activities for integration into the proceedings of the symposium.
Figure 1: Participant Pool, Team, and Squad Breakout Structure
The conference is slated to unfold over a two-day period, commencing with a series of plenary sessions on the first day, and concluding with summary reporting from squad and team level activities. A goal of the conference is to structure the two days such that participants receive a strong grounding in the “perspective” of the meetings, followed by an opportunity to apply their considerable talents to contributing their ideas.
