Eastside Leadership Conference 2026

The organizer describes attendance as hundreds of business and civic leaders.

The 2026 conference is at Meydenbauer Center in Bellevue, Washington.

The organizer identifies business, civic, and elected leaders among attendees.

It is most useful for business owners, chamber members and local officials who want to hear state and regional policy decision-makers in one day, since the speakers include legislators such as Mark Mullet and Manka Dhingra and the topics include the state budget, housing and transportation. Attendees outside Washington, or those looking for industry-specific skills training, would get less from a civic policy conference run by the Bellevue Chamber.

Business and civic leaders and elected officials at a chamber conference in Bellevue usually wear business attire or smart business casual, with a light rain layer in October.
