Seattle's Convention and Visitors Bureau is a non-profit economic development agency responsible for competitively marketing the Seattle area as a destination for conventions, tour groups and individual travelers. The goal of these marketing efforts is to enhance the employment opportunities and economic prosperity of the region. Our members benefit from the Bureau's marketing programs by gaining direct access to the visitor market.

Originally formed in 1956 as a part of the Greater Seattle Chamber of Commerce, over the years the bureau grew--operating independently with its own board of directors and staff. In the fall of 1994, it officially became an independent organization, though a strong working relationship with the Chamber continues.

Policy making is vested with the board of directors. Bureau staff includes over 50 full-time and part-time employees.
