It’s time to party!

We are looking forward to seeing everyone Wednesday, Dec. 7 at the GeekWire Gala as we bring back this holiday tradition after a two-year hiatus.

We’ll be celebrating the year in tech with an evening of conversation, tasty treats, lively music and festive cocktails.

If you or your friends or colleagues haven’t bought tickets, there are still a few left — register on the event site here.

A huge thanks to First Tech Federal Credit Union, the title sponsor of this year’s Gala.
