Some of our best memories at GeekWire have come out of the candid conversations, insightful talks, mind-blowing innovations, and fun moments that define the GeekWire Summit. And many of you have been right there with us.
For more than a decade, GeekWire’s signature tech conference has been bringing together leaders in tech, science, business, sports, the arts, and politics for a conversation about the key issues of the moment and the future.
What happens in Seattle matters everywhere, as we like to say, and the GeekWire Summit stage offers a unique vantage point into some of the most important developments in the world of innovation.
We’ve got a lot to talk about this year, including the future of hybrid work, the direction of the economy, and the growing implications of artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, augmented reality, autonomous driving, and other technologies with the potential to have a major impact on the world in just the next few years.
So whether you’ve attended every year, or never been before, consider this your invitation to learn new things, get inspired, and make memories with us at the GeekWire Summit, Oct. 6-7 in Seattle. Tickets are available now to join us either in-person or online. Register here or below.
A few highlights to expect:
- The future of augmented reality with Julie Larson-Green, chief technology officer of Magic Leap, which will release its long-awaited Magic Leap 2 headset a week before the event.
- U.S. Sen. Maria Cantwell will join us to discuss the future of U.S. innovation and progress including the bipartisan CHIPS and Science Act of 2022.
- What’s next in autonomous vehicles with Chris Urmson, CEO of self-driving technology company Aurora, and the former leader of Google’s self-driving car project, one of the top innovators in the field.
- A conversation with Charlie Bell, the Microsoft executive vice president who was recruited from Amazon Web Services to lead the Redmond company’s $15 billion cybersecurity business.
- The finals of GeekWire’s Elevator Pitch startup pitch competition, with the winner named live on stage after final pitches to the audience and our judges.
