And the winners are ...

 

Today, we announced the winners of the 2021 Technical.ly Awards as voted by you, the members of this community of professionals. On our public Slack, we gathered leaders from five tech hubs in the mid-Atlantic to let the world know who's standing out on their teams and in their cities.

 

We honored local winners in Philly, Baltimore, DC, Delaware and Pittsburgh across six categories, including startup, growth company, invention, CTO, tech community leader and culture builder of the year.

 

Then, we took it to another level by choosing an overall winner from each category, putting the top vote-getters from each city in a category to name the best of the best.

 

If you missed it, don't worry. We've recorded every announcement, and you can relive it all in the article below.

 

It's an honor to serve this community, and we're always excited to give some extra shine. Here's to a reflective end to 2021, and a bright start to 2022.
