BELLEVUE, Wash., May 20, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — From Amazon Web Services to Zulily, from VR headsets to smart wearables, the Bellevue Tech Expo organized by extraSlice on May 8th, for the third year in a row at the Meydenbauer Convention Center in Bellevue, had it all. With tremendous support from the city of Bellevue, and inaugurated by the Mayor of Bellevue, John Chelminiak, the Expo had double the participants as last year and featured a more prominent list of speakers and exhibitors.
The Expo had great depth and variety in the exhibiting companies this year, with startups and enterprise companies alike, from various sectors and industries. Attendees were treated to an engaging panel discussion titled ‘State of Cloud’, that included diverse perspectives from AWS, Azure, VMware, Corestack, and moderated by Todd Bishop, co-founder of Geekwire.
The Investor Gala in the evening featured a star panel discussion with top VCs in the country like Sequoia Capital, Madrona Venture Group, Maveron, Ignition Partners, Divergent Ventures and M12, about current trends and the future of venture capital.
A prominent feature of the Bellevue Tech Expo over the years is the BTE Innovator of the Year Award, awarded to the winner of the yearly pitch competition. This year, there was fierce competition among the pre-selected 4 companies that included cutting-edge VR, sports tech, real estate and health tech. Bryte Labs, with their proprietary beds that combine AI and sleep science, impressed the audience and the judges. With something that could fundamentally reshape and improve our lives through sleep, Bryte Labs proved themselves to be worthy of the title, ‘Innovator of the Year.’
extraSlice, a leading on-demand workspace provider in the region, through their annual Expo and BTE Innovator of the Year Award, aims to influence the tech ecosystem in the region by providing a platform for companies to display their innovations, thus attracting more global talent and venture capital to the region.
With such a large range of companies and personalities in attendance, the Bellevue Tech Expo is the fastest growing tech event in the region. Due to popular demand, the Expo will be rebranded in 2020 to include the entire Greater Seattle region, thus serving a larger community.
