It’s time for the GeekWire Awards, presented by Wave Business, our annual celebration of technology and innovation in the Pacific Northwest. The event is sold-out, with more than 1,000 people expected to join us this evening at the EMP Museum in Seattle, but you can tune in via the live video below.

Our coverage begins around 5:55 p.m. with highlights from the Avanade Orange Carpet, as we interview our finalists and GeekWire Awards guests when they arrive.

Then stay tuned for live video from the GeekWire Awards stage at the EMP Sky Church, starting at 7:55 p.m., as we hand out awards in 13 categories ranging from Startup of the Year and CEO of the Year to Next Tech Titan and Geekiest Office Space. Read up on all of the finalists here.
