The GeekWire Summit kicks off today, with more than 900 business, tech, media and government leaders joining us to talk about the future of the innovation economy.
We’re excited to get things rolling this morning with Starbucks CEO Kevin Johnson who will take the Summit stage at 9 a.m. for a fireside chat with GeekWire co-founder Todd Bishop.
We’re also thrilled to welcome Bloomberg TV as our official broadcast partner for the 2017 GeekWire Summit. Bloomberg will be broadcasting live throughout the two-day event, with anchor Emily Chang hosting the Bloomberg Tech show from the Summit floor on Oct. 10-11 at 2 p.m. and other guests appearing on Bloomberg throughout the day.
If you are unable to make this year’s Summit, make sure to tune into Bloomberg TV, or follow our livestream on the GeekWire Facebook page, starting at 11:30 a.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 10th and 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 11th.
