The party will be on Friday, September 5, from 8:30 to 10:00 p.m.<\/strong> on the Garden Terrace (third floor) of the Summit at the Seattle Convention Center. Reverberations<\/em> will take place at the Sheraton Grand Hotel and the Summit at the Seattle Convention Center from September 3-6, 2025. <\/p>\n

\u201cAnd it’s in a pollinator garden, which is a gesture to our intention with the party: to be a space to pollinate and to strengthen the assemblages that animate STS as a field of creation and critique.”<\/p>\n
