Welcome to SAAS Summit

October 20, 2024

Climate, Conservation, and Citizenship

Launched by Seattle Academy in 2022, SAAS Summit is an ambitious and essential forum for dynamic discourse. Twice a year, Seattle Academy brings together esteemed community leaders—all of them SAAS alumni, current and past parents, faculty, and students—for keynote speeches and panel discussions that address some of the most pressing issues of our time.

On October 20, 2024, our third SAAS Summit, focused on Climate, Conservation, and Citizenship, will explore how courageous leadership and cutting-edge innovation can help shape a healthier planet, vibrant communities, and a safe, sustainable future. The half-day event is designed to be equal parts idea laboratory, community roundtable, and a call to creative action. Attendees will hear keynote speakers, engage in smaller group forums around breakout panel topics, participate in Q&A sessions with a range of experts and leaders, and build personal and professional networks within the SAAS and Seattle communities. The event is hosted on campus and registration is free and open to the public.

“SAAS Summit is part of our school’s ongoing commitment to convene communities in ways that are at once aspirational, pragmatic, and transformative. The thread throughout all of the Summits and sessions is the recognition that while the problems in the world are real and growing, our students—and all of us—have power and potential that needs to be nurtured, celebrated, and activated.” Rob Phillips, Head of School, SAAS

Whether you're a young explorer, a seasoned professional, or simply a curious mind, SAAS Summit events are designed for you.

Engage with thought-provoking discussions, interactive breakout sessions, and networking activities that cater to attendees of all ages. We are looking forward to welcoming students and families from the greater Seattle area, including those in our own SAAS community and neighboring schools.
