The luncheon where the award winners will be recognized will run

Choreography of presentation
During the Awards Luncheon, the representative from the Nominee
Vendor Partner/ Integrator Company/ies and the representative from
the Nominee Company (the end-user firm) will be announced as winners
by Priscilla Tate, Executive Director of Technology Managers Forum.
Your company name, representative's name, and winning category will
be announced. We will ask you to come to the front to be recognized.
The winners will be recognized with a round of applause once all
winners are standing at the front. If you have any questions or
concerns about the actual presentation, please call us at 212-787-1122.
It is very simple, no speeches.
Trophy presentation
Actual trophies will not be given out at the event, but sent to
your designated representative. See below for more information on
ordering trophies.
Photos
Photos will be taken after you are recognized. Your picture will
be taken with a mock award, and we will be happy to provide you
with that photo, digital or hard copy, after the event, for free.
Request that photo from Victoria Adams at vadams@techforum.com

HOW
TO REGISTER YOUR COMPANY REPRESENTATIVE FOR THE AWARDS LUNCHEON/CONFERENCE
Registration
rules are different for the Nominee Vendor Partner/ Integrator award
winners and Nominee Company (the end- user firm that uses the technology)
winners. You
must pre-register to attend as no onsite registration is accepted.
- Nominee
Vendor Partner/ Integrator Companies:
Each Vendor Partner/ Integrator Company that won is allowed to
send one representative from that company to the conference
and Best Practice Awards Luncheon. Your representative is welcome
to attend the entire event and all sessions, but should plan on
being there for at least the 12:30PM-1:30PM awards luncheon.
No exceptions can be made to the one representative rule if
you are a Nominee
Vendor Partner/ Integrator.
Because of Technology Managers Forum's attendance guidelines,
which restrict conference attendance to IT managers, we cannot
accommodate additional vendor representatives. No exceptions will
be made to the one-person rule (unless the winning firm happens
to be a sponsoring vendor and already has attending staff).
To register your representative who will attend the conference
and accept the award when it is presented at the luncheon, please
call us at 212-787-1122, or register
on our website with a note in the comments field that you
are a BPA winner and accepting the award. Or email our membership
director Victoria Adams at vadams@techforum.com
with your contact information.
- Nominee
Companies (the end-user who was listed first as a Nominee Company
on the nomination form): Each Nominee Company that is an an
end-user company (the one listed first on the firm who uses the
technology) should send one representative from that company
to the conference and Best Practice Awards Luncheon. The representative
is encouraged to attend all sessions from 8AM-4PM, but at the
very least the awards acceptor should plan on being there for
the 12:30PM-1:30PM awards luncheon.
In addition, the Nominee Company (the end-user company
that uses the technology) may send to the conference additional
persons, as long as those people are qualified attendees. This
means the additional attendees must be senior level IT managers
with purchasing influence at the winning firm. Additional
representatives are encouraged to attend the sessions, as well
as the luncheon.
To register your Nominee Company representative who will attend
the conference and accept the award when it is presented at the
luncheon, please call us at 212-787-1122, or register
on our website with a note in the comments field that you
are a BPA winner, or email our membership director Victoria Adams
at vadams@techforum.com
with your contact information.
To register additional persons who are end-user, senior level
IT managers at the Nominee Company,
register on the website, or call
Victoria Adams, our membership director, at 212-787-1122. Or email
her at vadams@techforum.com.
We will confirm these additional registrations by email once we
qualify your additional guests.
