=Awards Events= Nominees participate in a series of award recognition events in each market. Celebratory events include:

Nominee Reception - All CIOs nominated for the CIO of the Year Awards are invited to attend the Nominee Reception. This executive event features an inspirational, leadership-oriented program delivered by a high-profile technology executive and recognizes all CIO nominees. Media coverage is provided by the local business journal.

Attendance is limited to CIO nominees, CIO members, CIO guests and select sponsor executives. The number of CIOs attending this program outnumbers the sponsor executives, which is a testament to the credibility of how the CIO of the Year Awards convenes CIOs. The local business journal reveals the finalists in their print and online editions, typically the Friday following the Nominee Reception.

Finalist Reception - The Finalist Reception, held 4-6 weeks after the Nominee Reception, honors CIO finalists in categories such as Nonprofit/Public Sector, Corporate, Enterprise and Global. Finalists revealed by the local business journal are introduced and honored at the Finalist Reception. By tradition, prior CIO of the Year winners introduce the incoming CIO of the Year finalists. Attendance is limited to CIO finalists, CIO members, CIO guests and select sponsor executives.

Executive Dinner - The most exclusive event in the CIO of the Year program is the Executive Dinner. This multi-course dinner, with a chef-introduced menu and sommelier-selected wine pairings, is led by CIO finalists and attended by CIO members and select sponsor executives. All Gold and Silver level sponsor executives are personally introduced by a CIO, who has the opportunity to share personal anecdotes about their most trusted business partners in front of 20-30 CIO peers and colleagues. The collegial format of this dinner is often the most highly-rated event of the Awards program by both CIOs and sponsor executives.
