Casual Networking Spaces

Will there be casual networking spaces like the Courtyard for coffee breaks and anytime-chats? Yes! Coffee breaks will be held on the 4th floor lounge and mezzanine (overlooking the Talk Rooms entrance and registration area), and in our large “Courtyard” space on the 7th floor outside the Posters. These spaces will be available all day long.

What about the Tiki Bar? Yes! The 4th floor coffee break space will convert into a nightly “VSS Tiki Bar” social lounge! (see photo of AI-assisted conceptualization). Expect plenty of comfortable seating, drinks for purchase, and the same casual and inclusive social vibe VSS is known for!

Social Events

Will there still be Demo Night, Club Vision, and Chill Vision? Of course! Experience your favorite vibes up on the 5th floor.

Bring the Family

If I’m bringing my kids, what will they do? VSS does not offer childcare, but attendees who bring children are welcome to make use of our new designated VSS Seattle Family Rooms (see below for AI-assisted conceptualizations of the actual spaces). Attendees who wish to hire private babysitters or nannies may also use this space for that purpose. There are also some great family-friendly activities around Seattle, as well as both indoor and outdoor playgrounds in the area.
