We’re a little more than a week away from Seattle 2.0 Startup Day, Sept. 22 in Bellevue. This annual event, presented by GeekWire for the first time this year, is a chance for established entrepreneurs and aspiring startup leaders to learn the ropes from veterans in a series of talks aimed at mastering key steps of the startup process. If you haven’t signed up, tickets are available here.

The agenda has come together nicely, and we’re excited about the caliber of speakers who will be joining us this year. The Startup Day keynote conversation is with Aaron Levie, the CEO of Box, who will be sharing insights from his experience co-founding and running the enterprise-focused cloud storage and file sharing company, which recently raised an additional $125 million in funding.

New additions to the lineup include Decide CEO Mike Fridgen, a veteran of Microsoft, TripHub and multiple startups.

Here are more highlights from the agenda to give you a sense for what’s in store …
