Connection and TechCrunch Unveil IT Superhero Awards

New Industry Awards Program Celebrates IT Professionals Who Save the Day

Connection (PC Connection, Inc.; NASDAQ: CNXN), a leading information technology solutions provider to business, government, healthcare, and education markets, is proud to announce the first annual IT Superhero Awards. Held in partnership with TechCrunch, the awards recognize hard-working IT professionals whose heroics have saved the day and helped move their teams forward in the face of daunting challenges.

The awards program is open to IT professionals from companies of all sizes and industries, from startups and enterprises to hospitals, schools, and public sector organizations. Winners will be announced at the very first IT Superhero Awards Show, held during TechCrunch Disrupt on September 21, 2021—a fitting tribute for National IT Professionals Day.

Recognizing the diverse and unique abilities of technology professionals everywhere, the IT Superhero Awards salute winners across 5 categories:

  • Best Team Leader (Leads to success, inspires others to greatness)
  • Best Rookie (A fresh IT pro who performs like a seasoned pro)
  • Best Catch (Made an amazing save, big or small, that averted disaster)
  • Best Superpower (Capable of performing astonishing feats, no matter the deadline)
  • Most Unshakeable (Always calm, patient, and focused in the face of IT chaos)

A grand-prize winner, selected from the 5 category winners, will be named the Ultimate IT Superhero.

Jamal Khan, Chief Growth and Innovation Officer at Connection said, “There’s no greater advocate for the potential of technology—or the power of IT professionals—than Connection. As the ‘IT department for the IT department,’ it is only fitting that Connection created an awards program to celebrate these unsung heroes. Our recognition of the individuals who propel their organizations forward with innovative ideas, bold strategies, and critical problem-solving skills is long overdue. We are proud to honor these deserving professionals with an award that reflects their impressive technical skillsets, willingness to rise to new challenges, and profound ability to calm the confusion of IT.”

Emma Comeau, Director of Events at TechCrunch stated, “It’s with great excitement that we partner with Connection to bring this entirely new awards program to Disrupt. The IT Superhero Awards are an opportunity to recognize the very best qualities of teammates and leaders, but they are also a celebration of the industry that kept the world connected over the past year, when distance and circumstance kept teams apart.”

Nominations for the IT Superhero Awards must be submitted by August 10, 2021. Winners will receive their awards from Connection during TechCrunch Disrupt. To learn more about the awards program or to nominate a deserving IT professional, visit www.connection.com/ITawards.
