Time’s running out to help us select the leading entrepreneurs, innovators, deal makers and non-profit leaders across Pacific Northwest tech who will be honored April 30 at the 2025 GeekWire Awards in Seattle. Get your nominations in today!
The annual awards will be presented in a variety of categories, including Startup of the Year, Workplace of the Year, Next Tech Titan, CEO of the Year, Deal of the Year and more. And we’re excited to bring back STEM Educator of the Year, recognizing inspiring teachers and educators from around the region.
Act fast — community nominations close this Friday!
Pacific Northwest-based companies and individuals are eligible (Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia.) 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. Past winners are not eligible in the same category.
The GeekWire Awards will take place at Showbox SoDo and feature a VIP reception, sit-down dinner and fun entertainment mixed in. Tickets go fast, and early-bird pricing is available now on half and full tables, so contact [email protected] to reserve your table.
Astound Business Solutions is the presenting sponsor of the 2025 GeekWire Awards. Thanks also to gold sponsors JLL, Baird, Wilson Sonsini and First Tech, and supporting sponsor Showbox Presents.
