The Nominations Are In

Looks like creativity and IT go hand in hand.  We asked you to submit your three-minute videos for our PitchIT contest for Breakaway, showcasing the best new products and businesses in the IT channel.  Your videos were creative and entertaining, but most importantly, you showed us that you can sell IT. Our top eight finalists based on vote count (note, we took away votes received repeatedly from the same IP address as we talked about in our voting scandal post) are…drum roll, please:Coolest New ...
Looks like creativity and IT go hand in hand.  We asked you to submit your three-minute videos for our PitchIT contest for Breakaway, showcasing the best new products and businesses in the IT channel.  Your videos were creative and entertaining, but most importantly, you showed us that you can sell IT. 

Our top eight finalists based on vote count (note, we took away votes received repeatedly from the same IP address as we talked about in our voting scandal post) are…drum roll, please:

Coolest New Product (Sponsors Category):

  • Autotask

  • Cisco Systems Inc.

  • ConnectWise

  • Datto Inc.

  • Lenovo


Hottest Company (Attendees Category):

  • Clever Ducks

  • HTS

  • ZSL


Voters clamored for more Napolean Dynamite and strip poker, but sadly rap videos, cartoons and erectile dysfunction ads didn’t make the cut.  Check out the videos and get a taste of what you’ll see in San Antonio.

Entrants selected for the final round must appear live at Breakaway, August 9-12, in San Antonio. If a finalist is not able to attend Breakaway, the entrant with the next highest vote count will be selected for the final round. The finalists’ videos will be featured throughout Breakaway and on-site voting will determine the hottest company and coolest new product.

Every Breakaway participant will have one opportunity to vote for the two PitchIT categories as well as the six “Best of Breakaway Awards” categories. Each vote is tied to your unique ID located on the badge you receive at the Breakaway registration desk. You may vote via iPads provided by CompTIA staff members roaming our Technology Vendor Fair or on paper ballots available in the CompTIA booth.

The final two winners will be named at the Wednesday night Awards Dinner, and each will walk away with a $500 American Express gift card!

Get ready to cast your final vote in San Antonio.
