Frequently Asked Questions

What's the dress code?

Business formal — think cocktail attire or suits. The vibe is elevated, but not quite black tie.

Where do I park?

The Hyatt Regency Bellevue offers valet and self-parking. (We will validate your self-parking here.) The adjacent Bellevue Collection parking garage is also available.

How do nominations work?

Anyone can nominate through the form above. After nominations close May 1, finalists will be announced, and public voting opens May 6. Some categories will rely on board deliberation, whereas some will be determined solely by public votes.

Can I buy a table for my team?

Please do! Table and sponsorship packages are available, so contact Ashley Clemmer or register through the link above.

Is dinner included?

Yes. We all gotta eat! Registration includes the reception, dinner, awards program, and access to the silent and live auctions.
