In an era where technology is rapidly evolving and competition is fierce, standing out and achieving recognition is a significant challenge for many organizations.
To address this need, Digital Pilipinas recently teamed up with the prestigious Stevie Awards for Technology Excellence to host the “How to Be Award-Winning: Win in Tech” workshop.
Designed to empower tech visionaries with actionable strategies and insights, the workshop aimed to help participants navigate the complexities of the digital landscape and achieve excellence. The virtual event attracted technology enthusiasts, innovators, and industry leaders who shared their expertise on achieving recognition in the tech industry.
Brad Geiser, Co-founder of GeiserMaclang, shared his best practices for crafting compelling award submissions. His topics included effective storytelling, demonstrating technology’s impact on business and society, and strategically positioning innovations to enhance the chances of winning awards.
An interactive Q&A session also allowed participants to seek clarification and gain deeper insights into the award submission process.
Geiser emphasized, “You don’t necessarily have to show profitability. The most important thing to show is the impact you have on society. Profitability is important, but it’s not the only factor to consider.”
Michael Gallagher, Executive Chairman of the Stevie Awards, added, “The quality of the stories is crucial. You’re making a significant impact on your customers and employees. People understand that profitability will come later, but the quality of your story is very important.”
‘Win in Tech‘ to promote various tech advancements
The workshop was part of a larger initiative to celebrate and promote technological advancements across various sectors, including artificial intelligence (AI), financial technology (fintech), green technology, and healthcare.
Attendees received valuable guidance on positioning their innovations for prestigious awards like the Stevie Awards for Technology Excellence.
The “How to Be Award-Winning: Win in Tech” workshop serves as a precursor to the inaugural Stevie Awards for Technology Excellence, which aims to recognize and celebrate technological achievements globally.
The awards cover categories such as advertising, marketing, public relations technology, agricultural technology, artificial intelligence, communication technology, business technology, energy technology, entertainment technology, financial technology, government technology, green and clean technology, healthcare technology, and transportation technology.
