Seattle’s geekiest holiday party returns December 5: Purchase tickets today to The GeekWire Gala! Early-bird pricing ends tonight, so gather your friends and colleagues and purchase tickets here before prices go up.

One of our favorite events of the year, the Gala brings together more than 800 geeks to celebrate the season in style with tasty treats, festive cocktails and great music in the heart of Seattle. A dance party also has been known to break out.

Bring old friends, colleagues, significant or insignificant others, and kick off the holiday season right. In terms of dress code, you have the rare license to don cocktail attire in Seattle — or wear whatever you want for that matter.  The Moz photo booth will offer plenty of opportunities to showcase your sweet duds. And if you don’t know what to wear: Make sure to enter the Geek Style Reboot contest, presented by Nordstrom.

Still need convincing? Check out last year’s action here.

The GeekWire Gala, presented by First Tech Federal Credit Union, is a great place to celebrate with friends and colleagues, so treat the whole team with our group rates, available here, and make our gala your holiday party! Also, a huge thanks to sponsors: Alaska Airlines, Bader Martin and ALLtech.
