The 2020 Awards Winners will be announced via video at 10:00 AM on Thursday, September 17, 2020.

We live in an uncertain world right now. With many uncertainties around live events, public health and safety concerns, and travel restrictions, we’ve decided to go digital! The TECTERRA Awards were developed to create a platform to celebrate the leaders and technological disruptions in geospatial, and there isn’t a better time to recognize those advancements. The 2020 Awards Winners will be announced via video at 10:00 AM on Thursday, September 17, 2020.

Here’s why we think this is could add some value for our 2020 winners:

1. Nominees and winners are not required to travel to Calgary (and they could plan a physically distanced team celebration to watch the winners be announced).
2. The video will be shared far and wide, allowing for a larger audience to see who won in each category and why.
3. The video wont disappear, allowing for winners to share their success after the announcement.

Six categories are open for nomination until July 31, 2020 that recognize the individuals who have compelling influence on the industry and the companies making disruptive waves of change through innovation and excellence.

Influencer of the Year - This award honours such leadership and outstanding contribution to the field of geospatial technologies. Reserved for individuals or teams who have demonstrated significant influence on the world around them.

Startup of the Year - Growing a new business is challenging work, which is why this award recognizes the startups who have made outstanding achievements for their business using geospatial technologies.

Most Disruptive Technology - Disruption happens when a radical change impacts an industry – or creates a new market. This award celebrates the companies that are demonstrating significant technology leaps that impact change within a market or industry.

Company of the Year - We achieve excellence when we are great at what we do – often times these companies are too busy being excellent to notice they have an impact. This award salutes the leaders who create best practices and set an unmatched example for the industry.

Woman of Impact - This award honours the women who have made significant accomplishments, and are sought out as respected advisors, mentors, and leaders in geospatial. Open to any inspirational woman, at any level of her career, who is doing remarkable things.

Student Leadership in Geospatial - Some of the brightest minds were known to display leadership qualities at an early age. This award honours the students who are already seen as leaders in the field of geospatial.
