Why Attend?
- You will learn from industry leaders about proven successful contests and incentive programs

You must be in attendance, however, to get a summary of the presentations. So join us - share your ideas and WIN!
Competition will be broken into the following Best Contest Program Categories:

You will have 10 minutes to present your program to a panel of expert judges who will score your contest based on:
- Originality - Is this an idea that was generated internally? Is it an innovative twist on a proven contest?
- Hype - How was the event promoted? How often? Use of displays and (internal) media. (e.g. banners, bulletin boards, hand outs, etc.)
- Effectiveness - Did you achieve the desired results? How much of a lift did the contest give to the program? What was the ROI?
- Reach - Can just about any team members win or will only the top or lowest producers have a chance to win?
- Focus - Were the requirements sufficiently narrowly defined or were there a lot of qualifiers that cluttered the effectiveness of the contest?
- Alignment - Did the contest give lift to the metrics that were important (needed improvement) to consumer and/or the organization?
Judges:
Karen Bell - Lockheed Martin
Sally Cordova - McKee Consulting
Sam Maniar - PRADCO
Deborah Mascellino - Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities
There is no entry fee AND you will receive a summary of all presentations after the event so that you will have a whole portfolio of the industry's best contests!
