One region. Converging technologies. Coherence.

K&L Gates, Seattle

A day of cross-border conversation connecting technology, policy, and the people shaping Cascadia's next economy. Presented with partners across industry, academia, and government on both sides of the US-Canada border.

"What is the one thing, a policy, a decision, a commitment, or a behavior, that would most close the gap between where this technology is and where the governance of it needs to be?"
The Summit Question, asked at the close of every panel

Six panels on

  • Governance
  • Infrastructure
  • Enterprise
  • Accountability
  • Future of work
  • BC quantum

Answers compiled into a C:TPI Policy Brief within 30 days.

What We Do

Market Mandates

Fixed-term engagements that open new markets for growth-stage technology companies: government and public sector, regulated industries, and cross-border (e.g. US-Canada, US-Korea). Written as outcomes, delivered by the principal, handed off when done.

Summits & Convenings

Invitation-only summits, executive programs, and delegations, including the Convergence Summit series (Seattle and Chicago) and programming across Seattle AI Week. Curation, sponsorship design, production, and outcomes reporting.

Corporate event production

Strategic Bench

Principal-led engagements backed by senior specialists: AI-native marketing, event planning and production, media and communications, research and economic development reports, and AI legibility audits. One point of accountability, right-sized teams, no bloat.

Our capacity is deliberately limited. Yellow Umbrella takes a small number of mandates at a time.
