WALTHAM, Mass. — September 20, 2012 — Brainshark, Inc., the leader in online and mobile presentations, today announced that its free SlideShark app – for viewing and sharing PowerPoints on iOS devices – was honored with two Stevie® Awards in the 10th Annual American Business Awards Program. SlideShark took home “Gold”-level awards – the highest award ranking – winning the following categories:

More than 3,000 nominations from organizations of all sizes and in virtually every industry were submitted for consideration this year. Stevie Award winners were selected by more than 270 executives nationwide who participated in the judging process. Winners were announced at a ceremony this week in San Francisco.
