We can’t wait for the 2012 VIATeC Awards going down tomorrow night. We’re up for Employer of the Year, Team of the Year, Employee of the Year and Online Strategy of the Year, humbly trying our best against an impressive list of nominees. Everyone here at Kano is looking forward to a night of brilliant minds, great connections and inspiring stories. One of our guys was so excited about this year’s Star Wars theme that he rushed out and got it tattooed across his knuckles!
We’re so excited to announce that KANO/APPS is a finalist for four VIATeC 2012 Awards! We’re up for Employer of the Year, Online Strategy of the Year, our creative squadron is in the running for Team of the Year, and Lead Developer Loren Stewart is gunning for Employee of the Year. We’re up against technology masterminds like Atomic Crayon, Neverblue, YUPIQ, Race Rocks Digital, Smart Dolphins IT and an army of other equally tough competitors.

We’re honoured just to be counted among the calibre of talent on that list.
