&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="https://imasons.org/activity/events-2026-lc-cascadia-amer/" target="_blank" class="stylizedButton buttonStyle004"&gt;Register for iMasons Cascadia Chapter Meeting&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3 style="line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;font face="inherit"&gt;About the Event:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Join iMasons Cascadia for a rare, behind‑the‑scenes data center experience at one of the Pacific Northwest’s premier digital infrastructure facilities. This June, we’re bringing together owners, operators, designers, engineers, suppliers, and industry leaders for an afternoon focused on how modern data centers are designed, built, and operated for reliability at scale.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3 style="line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;font face="inherit"&gt;Why Attend:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Guided white‑space data center tours&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Direct insight into operational and design best practices&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;MEP infrastructure overview (electrical, mechanical, plumbing)&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;High‑value peer networking with industry decision‑makers&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Women‑focused tour and networking opportunity&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Evening social event with iMasons &amp;amp; 7×24 Exchange&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h3 style="line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;font face="inherit"&gt;Agenda:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;1:00 PM – 2:00 PM | iMWomen Data Center Tour &amp;amp; Networking&lt;br&gt;
A dedicated tour and networking session highlighting career paths, leadership, and technical perspectives within the data center industry.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;2:00 PM – 3:30 PM | General Attendee Data Center Tour &amp;amp; Networking&lt;br&gt;
This guided tour of the active data center white space will walk attendees through:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Critical power and cooling strategies&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Redundancy and reliability principles&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Capacity planning and operational considerations&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Security, resiliency, and uptime best practices&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Attendees will also view a technical “back‑of‑house” video walkthrough, covering:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Electrical distribution systems&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Mechanical cooling infrastructure&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Plumbing and life‑safety systems&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Integrated MEP solutions that keep mission‑critical facilities running 24×7&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Opportunities like this are rare. If you don’t regularly access live data center environments, this tour alone makes the event a must‑attend.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;3:30 PM – 5:00 PM | Industry Panel &amp;amp; Moderated Discussion&lt;br&gt;
Topic and speakers to be announced. Expect a forward‑looking discussion on trends shaping data centers, digital infrastructure growth, and operational resilience.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
