Do you know an influencer who is worthy of some praise? Do you know someone who best represents our niche and what we believe? We have something very special in store for this year during our ShiftCon! ShiftCon Social Media Conference is having their first annual ShiftCon Shifters Award Ceremony recognizing influencers, brands and nonprofits that have contributed amazing things to our community. And what we wanted to do was find out from you who you are most proud of. And in order to do that we are asking YOU to nominate your peers for different categories, then the ShiftCon board will meet and determine finalists, and finally a vote on the finalists will determine the winners. And on Saturday, February 3rd during our reception, winners will be announced, recognized and given trophies.
This ShiftCon Shifters Award Ceremony is brought to you by Nutrigold, our Title Sponsor.
