Congrats to Columbus from ITMartini

With Columbus ranked #41 in the top 50 Twitter cities in the world, is it surprising that the 2009 TechColumbus Innovation Awards featured a Tweet Pit? Last Thursday’s program brought an abundance of tweets about host Andrea Cambern of 10TV, Jeff Hogan’s roaming camera and an electric atmosphere of innovation award winners and finalists.

IT Martini covered this yearly celebration, with over 1000 in attendance including over 20 winners, finalists, and semi-finalists featured in past IT Martini Hour events. Check out the pics on Facebook!

A huge congratulations to Edheads, winner of the Innovation in Non-Profit Service Delivery Award! Edheads was a featured charity this past September at IT Martini Hour 6 where YOUR help raised $1500. Groundwork Group, finalist for Outstanding Service, was another featured charity for both IT Martini Hour 6 and 8. IT Pros in YOUR IT Community raised a combined $4500 during both events in support of the charities.
