Dear PRAC Colleagues:

On behalf of the entire law firm of Davis Wright Tremaine LLP, we cordially invited you to the 66th PRAC International Conference in Seattle, Washington on October 5-8, 2019.

Seattle has a long history of innovative entrepreneurship, and we hope to explore this theme as part of the business sessions in Seattle. We live in a world experiencing increasingly rapid change, and that change affects our firms, our clients and our communities. Seattle's innovative entrepreneurs are certainly responsible for some of the changes we are experiencing (Boeing, Microsoft, Starbucks, Amazon have all played roles in greater mobility, increased trade, technology, commercialization, globalization). We hope to engage all of you in discussions that explore opportunities to exercise innovative entrepreneurship to adapt to, plan for and benefit from the changes we are experiencing.

Seattle, a culturally diverse and environmentally-minded city, has many facets; it combines a world-class metropolis within wild and beautiful surroundings. The city is located on a series of peninsulas, waterways, hills, and ridges, abutting Puget Sound and Lake Washington, and is nestled within the Cascade Mountain Range and the Olympic Mountains.

Seattle has a lively downtown with great shopping and wonderful restaurants, as well as a thriving arts community filled with theatre, music and museums. Our website and registration is now open and we encourage you register online at www.prac.org. The registration deadline is September 1.

We look forward to seeing you in our Emerald City this fall!

Very truly yours,

Host Team, Davis Wright Tremaine LLP
