New York, NY – May 7, 2015 – Updater was named a Finalist today in the Most Innovative Tech Company of the Year category for The 2015 American Business Awards, and will ultimately be named a Gold, Silver, or Bronze Stevie® Award winner in the program.

The American Business Awards are considered the nation’s preeminent business awards program. All organizations operating in the U.S.A. are eligible to submit nominations – public and private, for-profit and non-profit, large and small. 

The American Business Awards will be presented at two awards events: the ABA’s traditional banquet on Monday, June 22, in Chicago and the new product & technology awards event on Friday, September 11, in San Francisco.

More than 3,300 nominations from organizations of all sizes and in virtually every industry were submitted this year for consideration in a wide range of categories, including Startup of the Year, Executive of the Year, Best New Product or Service of the Year, Marketing Campaign of the Year, Live Event of the Year, and Human Resources Department of the Year, among others. Updater is nominated in the Most Innovative Tech Company of the Year category for up to 100 employees.

“We are honored to be recognized as an innovative leader in technology and remain committed to delivering the most cutting-edge relocation tools in the world,” says David Greenberg, Founder and CEO of Updater.

Finalists were chosen by scores of business professionals nationwide during first-round judging in April and May. Members of several specialized judging committees will determine Stevie Award placements from among the Finalists during final judging, to take place later this month.  

“So many fascinating and inspiring stories of success were submitted to the ABAs this year,” said Stevie Awards president and founder Michael Gallagher.  “We congratulate all of our 2015 Finalists on their achievements.”
