For a Tech Partner Day, Seattle is the value leader at $430K — -17% vs NYC and -7% vs London. Amazon HQ proximity is the dominant driver: travel comes in at $35K against NYC's $55K, and the PNW tech-conference vendor ecosystem keeps the vendor line at $85K.
London at $460K is the EMEA hub option — translation services available without specialized booking, AV vendor pool deep at competitive rates. New York carries the union-venue and AV-broadcast premium: production line is $140K, the highest of the three.
Choose Seattle if the Amazon partnership is the gravitational center, London for EMEA-anchored audiences, NYC only when the media moment requires the geography.
