MEDIA KIT FOR FINALISTS
The OnCon Icon Top 100 Professional Awards are peer and community voted awards that are determined by community and organizational observation of work. The voting period for the 2025 Top 100 Professional Awards is January 15th - February 15th.
Award winners will be selected by peer and community votes. Voters will vote for those finalists that they have observed one or more of the following:
-
Made a considerable impact on their organization and/or previous organizations.
-
Made strong contributions to their professional community through thought leadership.
-
Innovate in their role/career.
-
Exhibit exceptional leadership.
It's suggested to share your finalist designation with your network to encourage voting once voting opens on January 15th. This is recommended, but not required. There will also be promotion by OnConferences, and indirect promotion by other finalist shares.
In any shares, you may also highlight any successful projects, or accomplishments to further encourage voting.
Based on the number of votes we will announce the Top 100, 50, 10, and 1 in each of the categories at the OnCon Icon Professional Awards virtually on April 29th, 2025.
