The countdown clock is ticking. In a few hours, we’ll bring the Pacific Northwest tech community together for the first-ever virtual GeekWire Awards — an epic celebration of the top innovators, entrepreneurs, scientists and non-profit leaders in the region.
You can join us starting at 4 p.m. Pacific today. We’ll crown the winners in a dozen categories, with special celebrity guests and a few surprises in store.
Register here to join the fun. And while registration is free for this virtual event, we hope you’ll consider a donation to our non-profit partner: Technology Access Foundation.
The GeekWire Awards will be a mix of pre-recorded video vignettes and live awards’ announcements — a one-of-a-kind experience that we hope serves as a celebration of innovation and entrepreneurship, albeit a virtual one.
There are two primary ways to watch the livestream at 4 p.m. today:
- Go to GeekWire.com this afternoon and check out the featured post.
- Visit us on our YouTube page here and set a reminder to join the fun.
Also, make sure to tweet your support, home office setup or your special Awards cocktail attire at #GeekWireAwards to be featured in the Tagboard social media feed during the celebration.
