What is the State of Technology Luncheon?

Our annual  State of Technology Luncheon is a not-to-be-missed event that attracts an exclusive group of more than 600 of the region’s top business, education, research, and government officials. Each year, we present important information comparing Washington state to the rest of the nation in areas that support a thriving innovation economy such as education, research capacity, and access to capital. We also showcase a keynote conversation with a senior executive to illuminate current issues in the innovation economy. Past keynoters have included Satya Nadella, Reid Hoffman, Brad Tilden, and Jeff Bezos. No matter what sector you’re in, you’ll have the opportunity to hear from incredible innovators (and win an amazing table gift!).
