Nashville Post
Officials with Confirmation.com and Digital Reasoning Systems both took home two Nashville Technology Awards Thursday night at a ceremony attended by about 600 people.
The eighth annual NTC Awards ceremony was held at the Wildhorse Saloon downtown and featured remarks from Mayor Megan Barry, who called on tech leaders to help capitalize on the growth of their sector by getting involved in the community — specifically by committing to take part in her initiative to place 10,000 young people in paid internships across the city this summer.
“The NTC Awards is an opportunity to celebrate our region’s tech leaders for the work they’ve done,” said NTC President and CEO Brian Moyer. “The NTC Awards recognize the people that are making Nashville the destination for creative and innovative technology, and contributing to Middle Tennessee’s growth and prosperity.”
