Info-Tech Research Group Extends Annual Awards Nomination Deadlines

The Info-Tech Research Group, a prominent global IT research and advisory firm, has announced an extension of the nomination deadline for its prestigious Info-Tech Awards. Recognizing excellence in the fast-evolving landscape of IT leadership, the awards now accept nominations for two significant categories: Innovator of the Year and Women Leading IT. The new deadline for submissions is August 31, 2025.

The decision to extend the nominations stems from a surge in interest and demand for the awards, which celebrate individuals and organizations making impactful contributions through innovation and strategic alignment in IT. As the digital landscape continues to transform, recognizing such efforts has never been more critical. With the 2025 Info-Tech Awards evolving to include five new categories, this initiative acknowledges those pushing boundaries and driving measurable results in their respective fields.

Geraldine Mongay Vignau, the Vice President of Customer Marketing at Info-Tech Research Group, expressed the importance of these awards: "We've seen firsthand how technology leaders are elevating their organizations, not just through IT excellence, but by driving real and measurable value. The Info-Tech Awards were expanded to reflect this shift, recognizing not just titles or projects, but lasting, measurable impact across the organization and the people and teams redefining what IT leadership looks like."

Categories for the 2025 Info-Tech Awards

1. Innovator of the Year Award: This accolade will honor organizations that have leaped forward with groundbreaking IT initiatives, innovative uses of technology, or set industry standards that shape the future of IT.
2. Women Leading IT Award: This category recognizes IT professionals who embody innovation, inclusive leadership, and mentorship, influencing the next generation of women in technology.

As part of the Info-Tech LIVE 2025 event in Las Vegas, a panel session titled `Lessons From Exceptional IT Leaders` will showcase insights from previous award winners across various sectors like higher education, healthcare, and manufacturing. This session aims to highlight effective strategies for achieving stakeholder satisfaction and driving transformation within organizations. Moderated by Geoff Nielson, Senior Vice President at Info-Tech Research Group, the expert panel will feature notable IT leaders, including Isaac Abbs and Jamie Hornstein, who will share their experiences and insights on building trust and delivering results through innovation.

Insightful Discussions on IT Leadership

The session on June 12, 2025, underscored the necessity of measuring stakeholder satisfaction and using that data to effect meaningful changes within organizations. Nielson emphasized, "The most important thing IT leaders can do is measure stakeholder satisfaction and act on the feedback." The panel provided actionable insights into operationalizing feedback from Info-Tech's CIO Business Vision survey, promoting continuous improvement across their teams.
