Nicknamed the Stevies for the Greek word “crowned,” winners will be announced during the annual gala on Monday, June 12 at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York City. More than 800 executives from across the U.S.A. are expected to attend. The ceremonies will be videocast on the Internet and broadcast on radio.
Intelius is competing in the Best New Company category and the Best New Product or Service category for IDWatch, the award-winning, proactive identity theft detection, prevention and insurance service. More than 1,500 entries from companies of all sizes and in virtually every industry were submitted for consideration in the Stevie Awards.
