Awards programs like the IABC Gold Quill and London’s own Virtuoso Awards offer an opportunity to have you and your work recognized by your peers in the industry. Who doesn’t enjoy a little recognition? However, the value of these awards goes far beyond the individual pat on the back. They can be a key enabler to building your influence within your organization and earning the creative freedom most of us yearn for.

The communications team at the Canadian Society for Medical Laboratory Science has earned nine Gold Quills, including a Best of the Best award. In this session, they will deconstruct one of their award-winning projects and its award application, providing tips and tricks to help you put together your next winning submission.
