Hybrid, virtual, or back to the office: GeekWire Summit sessions will explore the future of work

How can business and tech leaders navigate the new world of hybrid work?

As the country and the world emerge from the pandemic, this is one of the biggest unanswered questions facing workers, companies and entire industries. We’ll have insights and answers at the GeekWire Summit, taking place next week in Seattle.

Two sessions will focus on the topic on Oct. 6:

Jaime Teevan, Chief Scientist & Technical Fellow at Microsoft: Drawing from years of deep research into the rapidly changing nature of work, Jaime Teevan, Microsoft chief scientist and technical fellow, provides key takeaways for business and technology leaders grappling with seismic shifts in the ways teams connect, collaborate and communicate in the quest to turn great ideas into world-changing products and services.

Panel: Future of Work: Informed by our newfound understanding of the underlying data science, we’ll check in on the changing workplace with Megan Hansen, chief people and culture officer at Smartsheet; Julia Anas, chief people officer at Qualtrics; and Holli Martinez, VP and head of diversity, equity and inclusion at T-Mobile.

Tickets are available now to join us either in-person or online.

• Ken Washington, VP, Amazon consumer robotics.
• Julie Larson-Green, CTO of Magic Leap.
• U.S. Sen. Maria Cantwell.
