The 2024 GeekWire Awards are set for May 9 in Seattle, and nominations opened today as we seek your help recognizing some amazing entrepreneurs, innovators, deal makers and non-profit leaders across more than a dozen categories.

The annual event will take place at Showbox SoDo and feature a VIP reception, sit-down dinner, after-party and fun surprises mixed in. Tickets go fast, so reserve a table soon for your team at early bird prices.

Awards will be presented in a variety of categories, including Startup of the Year, Workplace of the Year, Young Entrepreneur of the Year, CEO of the Year and more.

Community nominations will be open for one month and Pacific Northwest-based companies and individuals are eligible. The nominations can be submitted by GeekWire readers, and self nominations are permitted. One nomination is as good as 20, so no need to flood the ballot box. Submit your ballot today!

The event will not be live streamed this year, but a recording will be posted to GeekWire.com for on-demand viewing within 24 hours.

Astound Business Solutions is the presenting sponsor of the GeekWire Awards.
