We're excited to present San Francisco's 2nd Annual Timmy Awards in an effort to recognize the best places for technology professionals to work. We asked the San Francisco tech community to weigh in by nominating companies they believe deserve to win and then voting for the finalists!



Check out a quick recap video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHdN6MLbwIU) from our Timmy Awards in Philadelphia earlier this year!



Organizations and individuals will be crowned the winners in each of the categories below on December 8th. The evening will begin with cocktails, hor d'oeuvres, music and product demos from the best of the best in San Francisco tech.
