Learn how VisitEngland and the American Advertising Federation use OpenWater to manage their regional and national award programs. The OpenWater platform provides an opportunity for large programs to take their multi-tiered award programs and manage all the various nuances by one administrator.  A roll-up allows chapters or subsidiary award programs to follow a consistent submission and judging process.  The winning entries can then be rolled up into a national (nationwide) or international program when winners are identified.  This makes it easier for the administrators of the programs to manage huge awards programs with many levels. 

Come to this session to learn:

• How VisitEngland manages their chapter's awards programs
• Those subsidiary programs (chapters) can have their unique events with a distinct flavor that will easily roll up into the larger program
• How the American Advertising Federation uses OpenWater's capabilities to onboard new chapter leaders and help them to be successful with their awards programs
• How to structure and educate award program stakeholders
