Leaders can nominate themselves via the online submission link, or nominate peers who they feel are driving change. Our independent judging panel, comprising industry experts and experienced technology executives, evaluates each entry against each award category's criteria.
Winners are informed after the judging process has finished, and they are invited to join us at our global awards ceremonies, co-located with our flagship Studio event. In 2024, our awards will be taking place at The Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville, Tennesee, and at iconic Abbey Road Studios in London, featuring live panel debates and 'spotlight' stories.
In addition, award winners are featured in our community hub, showcasing their profiles and achievements to our network of over 17,000 global C-suite executives.
How can nominees showcase their achievements during the selection process?
