Participants will get the chance to hear compelling stories of leadership, innovation, and collaboration from various figures conceptualizing Southern Nevada’s economic trajectory.

The awards will focus on several distinguished categories, shining a light on innovation, community impact, workforce development, and regional collaboration within the diverse Southern Nevada economy.
