Celebrate & Inspire:

HDI Virtual Awards & Team Building Event!

 Presented by HDI Capital Area Local Chapter 

The Capital Area wants to celebrate and recognize all the incredible work you and your teams have done to help your company navigate this year’s unprecedented challenges. We are pleased to invite you to join us at our Annual Awards and Team Building Event at NO COST. This event has become a tradition in the Washington, DC area where IT Service and Support managers bring their teams to celebrate their hard work and success throughout the year. You bring your team and we will supply an inspirational speaker. This year’s virtual event will not disappoint!

The event will include an opportunity to network with area professionals, prize raffles, and Best Service and Support Analyst and Best Service and Support Technician candidate introductions.  It will also include an engaging, high-energy keynote presentation, by Joan Bowling, an international, award-winning speaker and leader.

At the end of the event we will announce the winners of the HDI Capital Area Best Service and Support Analyst and Best Service and Support Technician awards. The winners will go on to the regional competition, with the Regional Winner being sponsored by Robert Half Technology to attend the HDI Annual conference in Las Vegas.
