ATLANTA, GA – TechAmerica Georgia has received 85 nominations for the 2010 “Spirit of Endeavor” awards, given annually to recognized outstanding individuals and companies in the technology industry.

We think seeing the nominees is an annual look at who has good buzz in the Atlanta tech industry. You’ll see a lot of the same companies and people show up in different categories and notice that many previous nominees are not on this year’s lists.

This year TechAmerica Georgia has partnered with the Southeastern Software Association’s (SSA) which is launching its first annual “Impact” awards to recognize innovations in software products and solutions that have had a significant impact on business technology.

The 2010 “Spirit of Endeavor” and “Impact” honorees will be announced during a breakfast ceremony from 7:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m., December 3, 2010, at the Georgia Tech Hotel and Conference Center.

“We have received an incredible group of nominees for the 2010 “Sprit of Endeavor” awards, and a record number.” said Jonathan Pine, CEO, Renova Technology and Chair, TechAmerica Georgia. “As always, the judges will have to make some tough choices. Congratulations and best of luck to all of the nominees.”
