A winner will be selected from the nominations and recognized at the upcoming RTi3 Conference. Conference registration, travel, and accommodations for the upcoming RTi3 Conference will be provided. In addition to receiving the award, the winner will be invited to deliver one of the three Pillar Keynote presentations at the conference.
