Over the course of several decades, the industry has consistently produced outstanding executives, content producers, and frontline team leaders—individuals whose transformative value to B2B media is undeniable.
SIIA Media established the B2B Media Hall of Fame Awards program with the purpose of acknowledging crucial strategic contributions in three key areas—Hall of Fame, Emerging Executive Leaders, and Rising Stars.
Each award is crafted to acknowledge the pinnacle of achievement:
- CEOs Who Have Altered the Trajectory of Their Companies and the Industry
- Emerging Executive Leaders Who Have Significantly Impacted Their Businesses and Are Poised for C-Suite Roles
- Rising Stars Achieving Outstanding Results at the Brand or Department/Division Level
We extend an invitation for you to nominate any deserving executives or team members that you believe exemplify excellence in these categories.
Nominations will be accepted through January 5th. Recipients will be notified on or before February 2nd. Awards ceremony will be held at the Business Information & Media Summit (BIMS), at the Wednesday, February 29th luncheon.
SIIA Media’s B2B Hall of Fame recognizes executives who’ve had an extraordinary impact on their businesses, and on the industry at large. Hall of Fame members have produced innovations, business-model changes, remarkable revenue growth, expansion into new markets, organizational-structure initiatives and developed or applied new technologies in new ways.
Examples of their impact include, but are not limited to, creation of new media categories, events, data, commerce, technology, financial management and structure, M&A, and new levels of content excellence. All of which would have translated to substantial revenue growth and cost reduction. Such innovations will be shown to have been copied or replicated elsewhere. Senior-level inductees have served as CEO of their organization(s).
