Ready to dress up and geek out?

The GeekWire Gala, our annual festive holiday function, returns to downtown Seattle on Dec. 6 with a night of dancing, cocktails, karaoke and more at the Showbox Market. Grab your early-bird tickets here!

No party at your place of work this year? No problem! The Gala can be your spot to celebrate the season with friends, colleagues, or new acquaintances. This year, we’re offering special packages of 10 or 20+ tickets, some of which include branding, swag, a group photo, and more. Email us at events@geekwire.com for more information.

If past Galas are any indication, the dress code will range from tuxedos and cocktail dresses to goofy sweaters and other winter fashions. Be yourself, and be ready if you wish to compete for individual and team style prizes — the theme is “Frosted,” so picture a dusting of snowfall.

Other highlights include a photo booth, airbrush tattoos, caricatures, DJ, dancing and much more.

This year’s GeekWire Gala will also also recognize the region’s “Uncommon Thinkers” — Seattle-area inventors, scientists, technologists and entrepreneurs transforming industries and driving positive change in the world. A big thanks to Greater Seattle Partners for their support of this new awards program.

The historic Showbox Market is located at 1426 1st Ave., near Pike Place Market. The event is 21+ and all attendees must have valid ID to enter.
