Awards season
Posted by rod@drury.net.nz in Events, TechBiz at 6:08 am on Thursday, 18 October 2007

It’s been a busy week with awards. Almost as great as receiving is giving.

On Tuesday we had the cable car challenge. Fantastic event up and the cable car and some worthy winners. Judging was was a lot of fun.

Uphill, downhill sales pitch

Congratulations EyeMagnet.

Last night was the HiTech Awards finalists announcement. I got to speak for a few minutes on what last years award meant for me. Will be great night on November 3.

And later on last night was the Open Source Awards where I presented the Business category. Fantastic event run by Catalyst IT. Great community and some amazing projects going on the Open Source World.

Don had the best public speaking opening line ever with “It’s not like in front of the mirror is it”.

David Cunliffe was there again, and I again I got to follow him on stage. As I’ve said before he is one of the hardest working MP’s, turns up to all the events and actively builds relationships with the industry. It’s appreciated.

    Hi Rod

    I just read the list of finalists and I see that Xero are in there more than once, and you are in there personally as well. You are going to need a new building in which to store all of the awards soon - congratulations and good luck
