IMA2006 Fall Cocktail Reception - Wednesday, October 4

The Interactive Media Council, Inc. (IMC), the primary sponsor of the Interactive Media Awards (IMA), will be hosting a private, invitation-only cocktail reception on Wednesday, October 4, 2006. Save the date!

The purpose of this event is simply to reunite our various partners, judges, staff, investors, sponsors, and new friends in a fun social environment. We will briefly discuss our work and progress to date and plans for the future.

SO FAR IN 2006...
IMA has already received hundreds of entries, including some from the world’s largest and most prestigious companies such as Dell, Microsoft, Cisco, Ogilvy One, Nokia, Sony, Trump International, Proctor & Gamble, Novell, Delphi, Phillips and more.

Already, scores of developers and boutique development firms have reaped the enormous benefits of receiving a third-party endorsement of their skills and attention to detail in their work. As we had hoped, firms and corporations, both young and established, have utilized this recognition to justify previous project efforts as well as to launch their sales teams into the next tier of business development.

This interest in the IMA judging process continues to exceeded our hopes for year one. As you know, our growth strategy envisioned an initial base of entries from small and independent web professionals, leading eventually, through greater credibility and authority in the marketplace, to entries from global business and advertising leaders.

Our rapid entrance into the important field of online judging and recognition is largely thanks to the support and participation of our impressive team of daily and annual judges, as well as the continued efforts of our marketing and administrative staff in welcoming, supporting and communicating with our constituents in the interactive arena.

IMA
Sponsored by IMC, the Interactive Media Awards is designed to honor and recognize the highest standards of excellence in various forms of interactive media such as websites, video games, DVD’s and mobile networking technology.
