EventsAir by Centium Software was named the winner of a Silver Stevie® Award in the category Best New Product or Service of the Year – Software – Cloud Application in the 12th Annual International Business Awards.

The International Business Awards are the world’s premier business awards program. All individuals and organizations worldwide – public and private, for-profit and non-profit, large and small – are eligible to submit nominations. The 2015 IBAs received entries from more than 60 nations and territories.

Nicknamed the Stevies for the Greek word for “crowned,” the awards will be presented to winners at a gala awards banquet at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Toronto, Canada on October 23.

More than 3,700 nominations from organizations of all sizes and in virtually every industry were submitted this year for consideration in a wide range of categories.

In receiving the award, Centium CEO Trevor Gardiner acknowledged the important contributions made by existing customers to the product’s design.

“When we first started the discussion of EventsAir, we knew we wanted to re-imagine how meeting organizers did their work”

“We started with a blank sheet of paper, interviewed hundreds of our customers, and created a new productivity-driven approach and technology for today’s generation of meeting planners. This award is as much recognition of our customers’ support as it is of our team’s dedication to innovation.”

“Our entire team at Centium Software thanks the Stevie Awards organization and the judges for this prestigious award,” Mr. Gardiner continued. “We are honored to receive the Silver Stevie Award for EventsAir, and are humbled to be included in the company of all the past and current Stevie winners.”

Stevie Award winners were determined by the average scores of more than 200 executives worldwide who participated in the judging process from May through early August.

“The IBAs grow in stature and renown every year, and with that the number and quality of entries increases,” said Michael Gallagher, president and founder of the Stevie Awards.  “This year’s judges were treated to more than 3,700 stories of success and achievement around the world.  We thank the judges for their time and feedback, and we congratulate the Gold, Silver and Bronze Stevie winners whom we’ll celebrate in Toronto in October.”
