2008 Mass Technology Leadership Awards

11th Annual Awards Program Spotlights Technology Innovation

The 2008 Mass Technology Leadership Awards program spotlights the companies, people, and technologies that exemplify the best and the brightest in the Massachusetts technology community. It recognizes companies and individuals who epitomize leadership and excellence in business and technology.

The awards are the first and only awards to equally recognize outstanding achievement in the development and implementation of technology. In 2008, the Council received over 160 nominations for the awards and recently announced this year’s finalists at two summer networking sessions. A select group of industry leaders and influencers in the Massachusetts technology community serve on the Awards Selection Committee and will vote on the award winners in the fall.

Winners will be announced at an Awards Banquet on Thursday October 23, 2008 at the Sheraton Boston. Space is limited; Reserve your table before September 30th for special Early-Bird pricing.
