History of the Awards

In the summer of 2014, Shotgun Software created and hosted the first-ever Pipeline Awards to shine a light on those tools and the people who build them. In 2020, after six successful consecutive years of organizing the Awards, Shotgun Software handed the baton. And it is with great honor that The Pipeline Conference took over.
