B2B LEADERSHIP AWARD & BEST PUBLISHER
After careful consideration, our Board of Directors made the decision to postpone awarding these prizes. Rest assured that applications from 2020 will automatically be kept on file and considered for the 2021 awards season. The winner will then be presented, on stage, at the spring 2022 event. This was a difficult decision, but we look forward to awarding these prizes when it is safe for the industry to gather and celebrate.
