We are very fortunate to have a growing global community as part of the Think Global Forum, of which the Think Global Awards is an exciting rapidly expanding initiative“ commented Simon Hodgkins, Founder, Think Global Forum.
Stevie Award winners were determined by the average scores of more than 250 executives worldwide who participated in the judging process from May through early August.
“We are continually striving to improve and grow the value of the Think Global Forum and Think Global Awards as an inclusive thought leadership community. As such, it is an especially encouraging accomplishment to receive a Stevie® Award for this category,” added Gregory Twohig, Program Director, Think Global Forum.
„The IBA judges from across the world were highly impressed with the nominations they reviewed this year. With the level of achievement documented in the nominations from 74 nations, the Stevie Awards are proud to honor organizations that demonstrate a high level of achievement in a variety of industries,“ said Michael Gallagher, president and founder of the Stevie Awards. „We received more nominations than ever and look forward to honoring the Stevie winners at our gala in Vienna, Austria this October.“
The judging panel commented on the positive scope and impact of the Think Global Forum; „A specialised industry forum taking steps to widen its scope and impact. Multi-location events are difficult to organise, but with careful planning, the results can improve exponentially, well worth the extra effort and stress. Commendable.“
