Last year, Madrona launched the first Seattle Tech Week to celebrate our city’s vibrant and innovative tech ecosystem. Our goal was to highlight the incredible talent, creativity, and entrepreneurial spirit that define Seattle. The response exceeded our expectations, with the community coming together to host over 30 events, each showcasing the best our tech scene has to offer.
As we look ahead to 2024, we are thrilled for the SECOND annual Seattle Tech Week, kicking off on July 29th. Building on the success of last year, we’ve more than doubled in size and scope. This year, Seattle Tech Week will feature over 70 events, catering to a wide range of interests and expertise levels. Whether you’re a seasoned tech executive, a student looking to break into your first tech job, or someone looking to explore new trends and innovations, there’s something for everyone.
The event lineup includes activities to break a sweat (while you talk tech), such as running, rock climbing, weightlifting, and pickleball. To equally stretch your brain, curated, deeply technical panels and live podcast recordings will feature industry leaders and visionaries sharing insights on the latest developments and future trends in technology – like what’s next in AI. And to kick back and have some fun, there are happy hours and parties every evening, including Madrona’s kick-off party co-hosted by JP Morgan and Google.
Seattle is home to two of the largest companies in the world, creating a unique and dynamic environment for innovation that is second to none. This proximity to global tech giants, combined with a vibrant startup ecosystem, makes Seattle an unparalleled hub for technological advancement. Seattle Tech Week aims to celebrate and further strengthen this ecosystem by fostering connections, sparking collaborations, and inspiring the next generation of tech leaders.
At Madrona, we are passionate about supporting the growth and success of our local tech community. We are proud to call Seattle our home for the past 29 years and to have played a role in many of the transformational companies that make Seattle the tech scene it is today. We believe Seattle Tech Week is not just an event but an opportunity to highlight the incredible work being done in our city and propel us toward even greater achievements. The enthusiasm and energy that permeate Seattle Tech Week are a testament to our community’s collective drive and ingenuity.
Mark your calendars for July 29th, and get ready for a week filled with exciting events, valuable networking opportunities, and unforgettable experiences. Let’s come together once again to showcase the best of Seattle tech and pave the way for a future of innovation and growth.
