Pipeline: The annual InfoVision Awards will be presented at the event. Can you discuss the selection criteria for these awards and what such an award might mean to a company?
John Janowiak: Sure. The criteria for our awards include the following:
- Value of service or technology in solving recognized technology problems, meeting network requirements, optimizing service and performance, and/or enhancing customer service
- Overall quality of innovation and contribution to technology advancement
- Originality and vision
- Potential contribution toward positive industry growth and service
- Market success/acceptance (where applicable)
- Contribution to end-user quality of experience and service efficiency
- Benefit to environment/adherence to green practices (for Go Green category only)
The InfoVision awards carry much weight in the industry because we are a non-profit association dedicated to providing premier education. Our panel of judges represents all sects of the industry and are highly-qualified experts. We consistently see our finalists and winners generate a tremendous amount of news coverage and publicity from our awards program. We've been pleased to see the InfoVision Awards seal on booths, posters, annual reports, product packaging, websites, news releases, etc.

Pipeline: Are there any peripheral events, like networking dinners or parties, that our readers would benefit from attending?
John Janowiak: Yes! Please join us each evening for a networking reception! We'll have plenty of hors d'oeuvres and drinks. We also have invitation-only, executive events but many of our exhibitors and top sponsors host exciting parties and dinners throughout the week!
Pipeline: Is there anything else you'd like our readers to notice?
John Janowiak: Just that we are devoted to continuing education and catalyzing progress in business and academia. Therefore, we don't want cost to deter any industry professional from attending.
Though our conference packages come at a cost, we're pleased to provide an "Exhibits Plus Pass." This pass is complimentary for a limited time and grants access to the entire exhibition, all networking receptions, all Keynotes, Plenary Panels, and Hot Seat Session.
