As we’re just getting done shaking off the dust from our fun and successful road trip last week back from ITEXPO in Fort Lauderdale, we checked out our Twitter feeds and guess what we read?
“Congrats to Best in Show winners! … @MarketopiaTLM”
That’s right! #Marketopia won a 2016 ITEXPO Best in Show Award for Most Innovative Product.
An email from the marketing director at Technology Marketing Corporation (TMC)—the expo organizer—hit our inboxes soon after reading the tweet. After congratulating us for this prestigious honor, it read that “Our judges were very impressed with your entry.” Excitement coursed through Marketopia headquarters!
The annual industry award recognizes ITEXPO exhibitors who demonstrate creativity and technological innovation. It places a great emphasis on product feature sets, as well as innovative qualities and the degree to which it contributes to the development of future industry products and services. Needless to say, the judges had a tough job of selecting the winners during the event held January 25-28, 2016, at the Greater Ft. Lauderdale/Broward County Convention Center.
While at ITEXPO, our CEO Terry Hedden was part of a panel discussion about “Leveraging Cloud Services,” and he also led a session entitled “Sales & Marketing: Lessons Learned from the Trenches.” All week, you could find our team at the Marketopia booth talking shop with managed service providers and IT channel companies, having a great time.
“We are thrilled to be recognized and rewarded for the Most Innovative Product award,” Terry says. “Our team has been putting forth great effort to rev up The Lead Machine, empowering MSPs and IT service companies to quickly grow their businesses with more leads, more sales and more profit.”
Rich Tehrani, TMC CEO and conference chairman, said: “The products and solutions nominated for the ITEXPO Best in Show Awards are a true reflection of the industry’s most innovative companies. We are pleased to honor Marketopia for their efforts and creativity in developing advanced, powerful solutions for the business technology marketplace.”
Of course, we were just one amongst many amazing businesses that came out to ITEXPO this year. Here’s the full list of all the 2016 ITEXPO Best in Show Award winners.
