Join us for the second annual Veterans Tech Summit where Seattle’s top technology, corporate, education, and civic leaders will showcase the impact that veterans are having on the local tech scene. Seattle’s unique position as a focal point for both burgeoning technological innovation and a strong military presence has already resulted in some groundbreaking initiatives launched by local tech companies, which we will explore through this event. Hosted by the first code school in the state to accept the GI Bill, the Summit will provide an overview of the talent pipeline and innovation efforts, as well as feature the various career paths available for veterans in tech. Take advantage of this opportunity to network with key community and veteran leaders across the tech, military, and civic sectors. *Hosted by Code Fellows in collaboration with Four Block, Operation Code, Bunker Labs, & The Mission Continues.
