29th Annual Cannata Awards and Charity Dinner

Gesh, it's late and I just got home from the 29th Annual Cannata Awards and Charity Dinner! 

 

Where do I start............., I took the time to read Franks Editors note and I was inspired with this, "Fundamentally, life is not about who can accumulate the most money. It's about who can do the most with what they have been fortunate enough to have earned". Amen to that!

 

This years Charity recipient is St. Ignatius College Prep school which is located in Chicago, Illinois. 

 

Before I tell you about the awards, I'd like to thank Muratec America for inviting me to sit with them tonight. Thus, if you're in need of a second line or would like to make them your primary line, you'll be glad you did!

 

Now, if you're not familiar with the Awards ceremony, you can think of it more like a roast in good fun with the manufacturers.

 

I had a few good chuckles when Charlie Gibson (VP of Sales for Milner, Inc.) gave a few digs to Lexmark about the yields on their toner cartridges.  Lexmark International, Inc, won for Printer Manufacturer of the Year.

 

Ed Carrol who is COO of TGI Office Automation gave a few jabs to Larry White (VP, Sales, Toshiba America Business Solutions, Inc about the four positions that were listed on his LinkedIn profile that were all the same.  Toshiba America Business Solutions, Inc. won for Best in Class Manufacturer of the Year.

 

MFP Manufacturer of the Year went to Ricoh Americas Corporation.  I was hoping to hear a few good lines from Carl Fernyak (CEO MT Business Technologies, Inc), but, that was not the case.

 

All in all it was a great night for the Industry to get together. I was also impressed with the amount of P4P'ers that were in attendance also.  Larry, Jim, Mike, Gman, Scott, Lou, Matt and Bill thanx for taking the time to make this an eventful evening.

 

I's also like to thank Frank & CJ Cannata and the people behind the scenes for pulling off another excellent event!
