The eighth annual Interaction Awards ceremony took place last week, closing Interaction Week 2019 in Seattle. Not even the #snowpocalypse could disrupt celebrations, the show did go on. With a view of the iconic Space Needle, the Fisher Pavilion was an extraordinary place to host conference attendees, finalists and winners of the awards.
