JAX Innovation awards are brought to you by the organisers of the worldwide JAX conference series, Software and Support Media. Speaking on the importance of a reward programme, Software & Supports Chief Content Officer, Sebastian Meyen, comments:
"The achievements of the Java Ecosystem are unique in the history of IT. Since it's early beginnings in the mid1990's, Java has evolved towards a model of open innovation. Java is not only a technology, but also a room for innovative business. Therefore the JAX Innovation Awards feature more than a single dimension - one rewards the most innovative Java technology, one rewards the most innovative business model in the Java ecosystem and one is for the most influential ambassador/evangelist of the Java ecosystem."
Winners will be announced on July 9th 2012; in an awards ceremony at JAXconf (http://jaxconf.com/) in San Francisco, CA.
The winner in each category will receive recognition as best-in-class as determined by their industry peers and the Java community, PLUS a cash prize of $2,500 for each winner.
