The popular DNSeattle domain industry meetup will be returning for a 4th annual event on Thursday, May 25, 2017. The soiree will run from 6-9pm at a popular Amazon meeting space affectionately know as "The Living Room" (at 426 Terry Avenue North in Seattle) with post-event socializing then continuing until midnight at a local bar.

DNSeattle Founder Michael Cyger kicked off the series with a debut event held at the top of Seattle's Space Needle in 2014. In 2015 Rightside hosted the meetup at their suburban headquarters in Kirkland, then last year GoDaddy welcomed attendees to their offices overlooking Lake Washington.

DNSeattle activities include networking, speaker/panel discussions and socializing while enjoying appetizers and a bar. Attendees typically come from all over the Pacific Northwest. Last year Seattle, Vancouver-BC, Portland, Montana, Idaho were all represented at the event but attendees from anywhere are welcome. In 2016, Mark Levine traveled from Minneapolis and Joe Styler came from Arizona. In 2015, Braden Pollock and Bob Olea came up from Southern California.

For this year's show Amazon, in addition to providing the meeting space, is the lead sponsor of DNSeattle and Cyger expressed his gratitude to Amazon's Stacey King for her generous support of the upcoming event. GoDaddy, Donuts, Rightside (all Seattle locally-based companies), as well as Payoneer Escrow and Above.com, have joined as supporting sponsors.

As in the past, all proceeds from DNSeattle will benefit the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle - a phenomenal research institute focused on finding a cure for cancer.
