BDA Breakfast Series Returns In Person As Downtown Talks

The Bellevue Downtown Association (BDA) is thrilled to announce the return of its Downtown Talks Breakfast Series, which will be held in-person at the Bellevue Club starting March 29, 2022. This revitalized series, previously known as the BDA Breakfast Series, aims to address significant issues affecting Downtown Bellevue through discussions led by local business and community leaders. The inaugural event will feature Kate Joncas, who will present innovative strategies for successful downtowns in a post-pandemic context, and Gary Guenther, who will provide updates on Bellevue's development pipeline. This initiative is designed to foster community engagement and networking opportunities among attendees while enjoying a plated breakfast and coffee bar. The BDA had transitioned to a virtual format during the pandemic, allowing notable speakers from major companies to participate.

As restrictions on large gatherings lift, the BDA is eager to re-establish these important face-to-face discussions. Previous topics have spurred conversations on critical local issues, including affordable housing and urban development projects. The Downtown Talks Breakfast Series promises to be a valuable resource for insights and trends shaping the future of Downtown Bellevue.
