Be2Awards news Archive

Some of the Nottingham-based staff of construction collaboration software vendor conject were clearly pleased with their Be2Award, voted best AEC collaboration solution in the Be2Awards last month.

Conject was previously known in the UK as BIW Technologies but changed its name earlier this year following its December 2010 acquisition by the Munich-based Software-as-a-Service developer.

Stephen Beaven, who accepted the award on behalf of conject has written a blog post in conject's blog about the Be2Awards and Be2Talks event.

Showing that social media is international, Mark Johnson, last week announced a Be2Awards winner, was presented with his awards in Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA this week.

Mark won the PR/marketing award and the best education and learning project award.

Other awards are being distributed and we hope to show further photos of the winners with their awards soon.

So it all culminated last week - the Be2 award nominations were sourced from you, our "crowd", and were voted upon by the same "crowd": you. This helped ensure we got a wide spread of nominations, and also encouraged shortlisted candidates to mobilise their supporters. The votes were counted and the winners were announced.....
