Call for Nominations: YQG Tech Awards

August 21, 2018in Tech News 0 Comments

WEtech Alliance Presents the YQG Tech Awards Powered by AlphaKOR Group

The YQG Tech Awards powered by ­­­­­AlphaKOR Group are a fun, informal way of recognizing technology innovators of all stages for their achievement and success in our community. There’s no dress code and no speeches to give.

We’ll be honouring all of our Tech Award winners with a unique, Windsor-made Tech Award created with the help of our #YQG tech friends.

The second annual awards are part of a week-long celebration – Tech Week YQG – from October 29-November 2.

Eligible companies include all stages and sectors including: Advanced Manufacturing, Digital Media & Information Communication Technology, Life Sciences, Agritech and Cleantech.

The YQG Tech Awards provide a fantastic opportunity to showcase the impactful leaders in the local tech sector and to strengthen networks within the tech community.  Close to 200 people will attend, comprising tech entrepreneurs, CEOs and tech start-ups, plus corporate advisors, investors, tech consultants and media. This year’s award will piggyback on the official Tech Week YQG kickoff party and the 3rd Annual Nerd Olympics “Nerd Cup” Ceremony.

NOMINATIONS PROCESS
