Telltale's nearly award-winning technology

Former Telltale Staff
On Tuesday, several members of Telltale's tech team went down to the south bay to receive an award for the Telltale tool. Getting details about the shindig from those guys was like pulling teeth (to his credit, Kevin lost his voice yesterday and all he could do was whisper, and Jon did chime in that the desserts at the banquet were good), so our marketing guru Joel stepped in with a first-hand account.

Tuesday night, Telltale attended a new awards ceremony, established by an esteemed Northern California business publication -- the Silicon Valley Business Journal -- to honor outstanding young companies.
Of the awards, Business Journal Publisher Vintage Foster said "We are excited to recognize the achievements of these emerging companies in technology-rich Silicon Valley. The companies we are celebrating have pioneered technologies with the potential to profoundly impact people and their businesses."
The ceremony was held right in the heart of Silicon Valley, in a swank banquet hall. After indulging in the extensive finger foods provided by the hosts, we were escorted into the hall for the ceremony. Telltale CEO Dan Connors represented the company at the event, along with CTO Kevin Bruner, technical leads Graham McDermott and Jon Sgro, financial advisor Andre Blanadet, Chairman Matthew Le Merle and myself.
Listening to the achievements of the other finalists -- in fields ranging from Bio-Tech to Medical Devices to Environmental solutions -- we felt proud to be recognized amongst such top talent.
Alas, Telltale didn't take home the top prize in the Entertainment category (that went to a new home entertainment company called Digital Deck). We left the evening feeling that this certainly won't be the last awards ceremony we'll attend, and we'll look forward to getting the main trophy next time around! More info here.
Of course, we're all very happy about the award. But we'd be happier about it if those guys had brought back some of that dessert for the rest of us.
