This April, BostInno presents an innovation showcase like no other. We’re hosting Boston UpFront, an all-encompassing look ahead at what’s next for our formidable city. Join us April 30th for an exclusive screening of the 45 minute show featuring interviews with top city influencers and decision-makers. Be in the room and get your early bird tickets now.

In tandem with this forward-looking content and discussion focusing on the business leaders of the New Economy, how education and the workplace are changing in light of new business, and the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for the city’s infrastructure and policy, we are honoring local young alumni who have had a substantial effect on where Boston is now, and where the city is headed in 2014 and beyond.

Nominations for the first-annual Alumni Impact Awards are open now through April 14th.  To be eligible for award consideration, nominees must have graduated with a degree from a Boston-area higher education institution and be making a sizable impact on the local economy and/or community.

The winners will be selected by a panel of judges and announced live at Boston UpFront on April 30th in front of an audience of 500+ business leaders, marketers, city policy-makers, influencers, innovators, and students.
