Year after year, industry lists spotlight the executives already in the headlines. The Future Leader Awards shine a light on the leaders you haven’t met yet, recognizing rising talent shaping the future of their industries.
This year’s awards span the areas where emerging leaders are making their mark — from AI and social to marketing and influencer strategy — giving entrants the opportunity to shine in the category that best reflects their work. Now’s the time to nominate an up-and-coming colleague whose work deserves recognition.
