ACT-IAC Announces 2016 Igniting Innovation AwardsThe American Council for Technology and Industry Advisory Council's (ACT-IAC (News - Alert)) Institute for Innovation announced that nominations are open for its annual Igniting Innovation 2016 Showcase and Awards. The program recognizes the most innovative uses of technology to improve government programs and services to citizens. Submissions from individuals and organizations in both the government and private sectors are due by January 15, 2016. "Igniting Innovation was designed not only to recognize the brightest minds in government IT problem solving but also to showcase their ideas and successes," said Andrew Robinson, chair of ACT-IAC's Institute for Innovation. "Last year, there were more than 100 submissions and more than 800 people attended the event, which serves as a spring board to help spread best-practices to other IT professionals across government. The award winners receive unprecedented exposure." Although any individual or organization can submit a nomination, innovations must have been conceived, developed, deployed or upgraded in the last two years to be eligible. Nominations will be reviewed by a panel of government and industry executives who will select the Top 30 finalists. But the ultimate winners will be determined through a combination of judging and social media voting by attendees at the vent. Previous winners include New York City Department of Transportation: NYCStreets Permit Management and Environmental Protection Agency and INDUS Corporation: How's My Waterway? Igniting Innovation Showcase and Awards will be held in April 2016 in Washington, D.C. The event will celebrate the best and brightest innovators working to improve the business of government.
