Some of my best GeekWire memories came from the candid conversations, insightful talks, amazing innovations, and fun moments that define the GeekWire Summit. And many of you have been there with us.
For more than a decade, GeekWire’s signature tech conferences have brought together leaders in technology, science, business, sports, the arts, and politics to discuss important issues of today and tomorrow.
Like we said, anything that happens in Seattle matters everywhere, and the GeekWire Summit stage offers a unique perspective on some of the most important developments in the world of innovation.
There’s a lot to talk about this year, including the future of hybrid work, the direction of the economy, and the growing impact of artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, augmented reality, autonomous driving, and other technologies. In just a few years, it will make a big impact on the world.
Whether you’re an annual or a first-timer, consider the GeekWire Summit October 6-7 in Seattle an invitation to learn new things, get inspired, and make memories. . Tickets are available now and can be attended in person or online. Register here or below.
