The monthly Happy Hour is a meet up for leaders in film, music and interactive industries to share, learn and make meaningful business connections.
The Happy Hour averages an attendance of upwards to 200 people each month. In addition to bringing people together, each month we host a special 30 minute presentation from guest speakers who give unique insight into the creative and technological innovations directly affecting your industry.
These Happy Hour events are held on the last Wednesday of every month from 5:00 to 7:00pm at Spitfire in Belltown. The special presentation will begin at 6:30pm in the private black box theater in Spitfire. The presentation will also be broadcast on all the monitors inside the venue and available for review here on our video archive page.
