What to expect from the Seattle Fellows Festival event

Let’s make Seattle feel like home. Whether you’ve just arrived or are looking to expand your community, this event is your golden ticket to a more connected, fulfilling life in the city. 

RSA US is proud to support Seattle Welcome Day, a one-of-a-kind event at Town Hall, presented by the Seattle Chamber of Connection

The US Chamber of Connection is the nation’s civic institution dedicated to building and sustaining the core infrastructure needed to address the greatest issue facing society today – our lack of connection. 

Here’s what’s in store: 

  • Meet other newcomers and long-time residents ready to make connections. 
  • Create your own personalised action plan for your connected life in Seattle guided by science-backed prompts and expert facilitators. 
  • Tap into crowd-sourced local wisdom on the best events, communities, and hidden gems Seattle has to offer. 
  • Join an ongoing community for continued support to help you build your new social life. 

Every attendee will receive a Seattle Newcomers Club Journal. This is packed with resources and reflections to help you design your best social life in the Emerald City. 

Tickets are just $20, and space is limited to 100 participants, so don’t miss out.

Start your Seattle story with purpose, people, and possibility. Build your connected life in Seattle on 17 May with the US Chamber of Connection and the RSA.
