Editor's Note

Partners, if someone in your business made significant impact last year, now's the time to nominate them for our Impact Awards. 

These awards recognise people (and projects) that had real effect, not just polished profiles or job titles.

We'll be awarding the Marketing Leader of the Year, Sales Leader of the Year, Business Leader of the Year, Technology Leader of the Year, Technical Specialist of the Year, Emerging Leader of the Year, Community Leader of the Year, and Leader of the Year.

Entries close on May 12. Read more and enter here.
