If you’re leveling up your work or education in the technology industry check out our Job Fairs on the fourth Tuesday every quarter. You can connect with with 200-600 skilled job seekers and multiple startup and enterprise employers (past employers have included, Nintendo, Pokemon, Amazon, Oracle, Google, Microsoft, REI, AWS, ebay, T-Mobile, UW, Northeastern University, SeattleU, and dozens of others).

+ the speakers:
Founders, leaders & innovators of startups and enterprise tech companies sharing their passion & new tech through 5 minute presentations & 3 minutes of your Q&A. Presenters flow from early stage startups to enterprise companies.

+ the vibe:
Human. Neighborhood block party – fun, friendly & relaxed. When we’re in person you can enj0y complementary beer, wine, sparkling water and tasty bites. More like a BBQ with friends than smarmy networking. “How can I help you?” conversations, not “Let me tell you why my company is great” talk. You’ll laugh, smile, and have a fun night out with 200-500 Seattleites, 80-150 Eastsiders , 150-200 Portlandians, or 50-100 Tacomans.

+ the experience:
Meet your next great peer, mentor, investor, co-founder, or friend. Learn about people, companies, and resources to help you with the next step in your career or company. Discover innovative, creative and inspirational new technology (or smarter use of old tech). You’ll discover cutting edge tech in the realms of VR, IoT, Apps, Robotics, Fintech, Mobiletech, Healthtech, Cloudtech, Spacetech, Proptech, Women in Tech, Diversity in Tech… you get the idea.

+ the goal:
Be human together, celebrate awesome innovation being created in your backyard, inspire and support each other to create more innovation, and collectively advance the Northwest’s booming tech ecosystem while having an amazingly fun time doing it together.
