IAMCP will recognize Microsoft staff at WPC12 in Toronto, Canada.

Each year the IAMCP provides an opportunity for Partners to recognize the Microsoft staff that work with them through this awards programme. Partners have an opportunity to vote for their preferred member of staff. The awards are made because the recipients have provided an outstanding level of service to the Partner and will have shown exceptional commitment in supporting the Partners that they work with.

Because of their dedication and service to Microsoft Partners, the IAMCP believes that they are deserving of an Award; this is an important way to recognize the people that make a real impact on Partner businesses. As part of our annual Awards efforts both at WPC and locally in Partner Summits, we work to recognize those who go the extra mile at every interaction with Partners.

The IAMCP Prometheus Awards (formerly the PAM awards and renamed this year) will be granted by the IAMCP (The International Association of Channel Partners of Microsoft) to Microsoft employees worthy of such merit. The awards will be allocated by sub regions as detailed below.

The IAMCP Prometheus Awards are presented annually to provide high-profile recognition of the top 9 representative regions around the world each year. One award will be given in each of these 9 geographical areas where IAMCP has presence.

Prometheus Award winners may be recognized in 2 locations :
