IMD/IRD Awards 2014 - Vote Now!

Who impressed you during 2013? Which vendors served up the best content, utilized the best technologies, and delivered the best support last year? Who helped take your business beyond the status quo? If you were impressed by a vendor, exchange or interdealer broker in 2013, please vote for them at events.insidemarketdata.com/awards and help them gain recognition for their service and achievements.
There's a category for just about every aspect of market data and reference data management, so anyone at a buy-side or sell-side firm should feel qualified to share their views in our online poll.
You can also nominate yourselves and your internal teams or individual executives for projects undertaken over the past year in our call-for-entry categories, which include sections for vendors and end-user firms alike.
And don't forget to nominate your favorite individual from the industry to be this year's inductee into the Inside Market Data Hall of Fame. (But please check our list of former winners to ensure you don't nominate someone who has already been inducted!)
Finally, if you or your firm has done something admirable outside of your day job, we encourage you to nominate yourself for our Above and Beyond award, which is intended to recognize work by those from our industry on projects in other areas for the broader good─whether it be a company charity drive, volunteer work, or applying data technologies or analytics to solving new problems outside the world of market and reference data.
The winners will be announced at our awards evening following the North American Financial Information Summit on May 21at the Marriott Marquis hotel in New York. If you want to be part of that evening, get voting, and don't forget to submit yourself and your peers in the call-for-entry categories.
