Last week we announced the Stevie Award winners and Distinguished Honoree (honorable mention) medalists who've been honored in The 2011 (8th Annual) International Business Awards, the world's only all-encompassing, fully-international business awards program. This year's honorees will be celebrated at a star-studded event in Abu Dhabi, UAE on Tuesday, 11 October.
Throughout this week we'll recognize the contributions of the more than 200 professionals worldwide who participated in the IBA judging process this year
The following 100 professionals participated in preliminary judging of the IBAs in May-July 2011. Their average scores determined the entries that were eligible to be consider in final judging. We thank them for their time, interest, and insights. With entries up 80% this year to more than 3,000, their contribution was more vital than ever!
