awardsCMS Speaks at the ADDYs!

This past June, awardsCMS founders Tim Spell and Kunal Johar were invited to speak at the annual American Advertising Federation conference. There, they went through step by step how the awards management software works to all those in attendance. It was a great experience for all. Attendees seemed very excited about the opportunity to use the software, which they will be able to use starting this year for the ADDYs! Additionally, Tim and Kunal had the chance to meet in person all the great people who are part of the American Advertising Federation. Plus, who could ever turn down a trip to Arizona?
