An early believer in the potential of crowdsourcing, Epi Ludvik created Ludvik+Partners in 2008, one of New York’s hottest boutique virtual ad agencies built on a 100% crowdsourcing model. The idea for something bigger took seed when Ludvik+Partners and Collective Bias organized the event, how Crowdsourcing is Changing the Advertising Business during Internet Week in 2011 in NYC.

Epi understood that engagement and knowledge transfer in this space could help organizations overcome their shortcomings and create real stakeholder value. The rest is history. Crowdsourcing Week was founded in 2012 and launched first Global conference in Singapore in June 2013. Since then, we produced three flagship global conferences, organized over 30+ crowdsourcing summits in 25 countries across four continents, and built excitement around a global movement. Today, we are proud to have launched BOLD Awards, another global platform for BOLD innovators. Find out more info here: bold-awards.com
