The 24th Annual CODiE Awards Gala will be held at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco, CA on May 5, 2009. This formal black-tie gala kicks off with a reception serving cocktails and hors d'oeuvres and is followed by dinner and the awards presentation ceremony with live music. It's the perfect event for celebrating your victory and the achievements of your peers.
Due to the increase in the number of award categories, the CODiE Awards will not all be presented at the actual gala. Some of the Education, Content and Software awards will be presented earlier in the evening at a reception taking place immediately prior to the gala. The broader awards, the corporate awards, and the Lifetime Achievement awards will all be presented at the gala.
We hope you join CODiE Awards Finalists, industry executives and members of the press for an evening dedicated to recognizing the stars of the content, education technology and software industries!
Entertainment
Wayne Cotter is a favorite of the talk shows, having appeared dozens of times with both David Letterman and Jay Leno. With Leno, he also appears in a recurring role as a roving reporter for The Tonight Show. A top nationally touring comedian, Wayne hosted the Fox Television Network series "Comic Strip Live" for many years, and was seen in the feature film "Spy Hard." He has also been nominated as "Best Standup Comedian" in the American Comedy Awards, and has appeared in numerous cable television specials. He also served as host of the long-running Discovery series "Amazing America," a light-hearted look at weird and wacky subcultures throughout the United States. Regularly appearing in nightclubs and casinos, he has also become a highly sought-after entertainer for corporate events.
For over a decade, the unstoppable, international rock and roll party machine known as the Wonder Bread 5 have been thrilling audiences, and exceeding client's expectations around the globe. Michael, Jackie, Jermaine, Tito and Marlin round out this unstoppable, international rock and roll party machine. Unlike those "other party bands" that seem to plug in a new member every month or so and play the same tired somgs from the 1980s, the Wonderbread 5 covers everything from Motown to Bean-town and back again. Oh yeah, and another thing. Unlike your run-of-the mill disco party bands, the Wonderland 5 actually encourages their audience to join them on stage to sing, dance or whatever comes natural. And they've got the pictures to prove it!
