This year, we’re keeping things light— light on program, rich in connection.  Expect a new kind of gathering— one that feels more like a celebration with friends.  We’ll keep things short, fun, and a little unexpected as we celebrate the humans behind the hustle.

The EDC has reinvented this to not be your typical awards event.  Held at the Hangar 51 Event Center at the Olympia Airport, we’re offering a fresh, summer-style gathering, in an open-air setting, focused on connection and community.  We will be creating a space that reflects the spirit of the businesses we’re celebrating— welcoming, thoughtful, and full of life.

“This event is designed to reflect the energy of our business community—bringing people together to celebrate the impact happening across Thurston County.”
–Michael Cade, Executive Director of the Thurston Economic Development Council

Come ready to connect, laugh, and raise a glass to the businesses that make this community special!
