The Convention Industry Council's Hall of Leaders
Recognizing Industry Pioneers & Leaders

Hall of Leaders History

Since 1985, the CIC has honored the industry's outstanding leaders and innovators with its bi-annual Hall of Leaders awards. Nominations are submitted either by CIC member organizations or the general industry community. A selection committee appointed by the CIC chooses the inductees, who are presented at a gala awards ceremony.

Only those who have substantively contributed to the industry and whose efforts continue to shape it qualify for nomination. The nominee must also prove his or her versatility through a range of actions that have impacted and redefined meetings, conventions and exhibitions.
