Each year, the AIM Institute holds a Technology Celebration Banquet and Awards in conjunction with the Infotec conference to celebrate the robust and thriving technology industry in Nebraska and the surrounding region. The 2012 Technology Celebration Banquet and Awards was held on April 17th at the CenturyLink Center. Award recipients were recognized for their outstanding contributions to the region’s IT landscape. Selection is based on the nominees’ contributions, either through sustained performance or a special notable achievement, to the region’s worldwide reputation for excellence and innovation in information technology.

This year, in celebration of its 20th year, AIM invited all prior award recipients and their guests to attend.  Lynne Baldwin, President of BHMI, was awarded Technology Chief of the Year in 1996.  Approximately 500 people were in attendance at the banquet.
