We had a packed house the Happy Place in Downtown Bellingham for the return of the Tech Innovation Awards! It was inspiring to see faces old and new, hear from some of non-profit partners and celebrate some outstanding people and teams. Here are some shout outs and event photos that we’d love to share. Thank you to Veritas Media for providing our event AV, and to SPIE and the Ed and Kendra O’Neill Family Foundation for sponsoring out awards categories.
