The voting is now open for the 2024 GeekWire Awards, and this is your chance to have a hand in honoring the best in Pacific Northwest tech.
With more than 50 finalists across more than a dozen categories — from Startup of the Year to Next Tech Titan — we’re once again recognizing amazing entrepreneurs, innovators, deal makers and non-profit leaders.
Voting runs through April 12 and we’ll announce the winners live onstage at Showbox SoDo in Seattle on May 9. Over the next few weeks, we’ll feature the finalists in special GeekWire editorial posts on each category.
The event will include a welcome party with music, sit-down dinner, entertaining awards program, and fun surprises mixed in. Space is limited and the event will sell out, so reserve a table for your team before early bird pricing ends March 31.
We are not live streaming the Awards this year, but a recording will be posted to GeekWire.com for on-demand viewing within 24 hours.
In addition to the voting on the ballot, we’ll also celebrate honorees in two other categories. Public Policy Champion for Innovation, presented by WTIA, recognizes a Washington state lawmaker advocating for tech innovation. And the Geeks Give Back Award, presented by BECU, recognizes those making a community impact in the region.
Now in its 16th year, the GeekWire Awards is one of the most hotly anticipated events in the Seattle tech community, bringing together more than 1,000 geeks to celebrate innovation and the entrepreneurial spirit. Past winners have included Auth0, Tableau, Smartsheet, Remitly, Swype, Redfin, Convoy, Zulily, The Black Boardroom Initiative, University of Washington computer scientist Ed Lazowska, DreamBox Learning CEO Jessie Woolley-Wilson, TAF and many others.
