STW Official Kickoff Party Presented by Madrona, JPMorgan, & Vercel

​Join Madrona, J.P. Morgan, and Vercel to kick off Seattle Tech Week 2026 with an evening of great conversations, delicious bites, and pickleball at Picklewood in Sodo — Seattle's ultimate recreation destination to rally, relax, and refuel.

​You don’t need to be a pickleball pro to join us. Come to play, learn, or simply enjoy the atmosphere and conversations. For those interested in giving it a try, though, pickleball pros will be on hand to help you learn the game.

​This mixer is the perfect way to launch into a week dedicated to the innovation and talent that define the Seattle tech/founder ecosystem. Whether you're a founder, operator, investor, or simply passionate about tech, this is the place to kick off Seattle Tech Week.

​Special thanks to SAP, Cooley LLP, Ellingson Group, MongoDB, and Atlassian for helping make this event possible.
