Update: This year’s 50 on Fire nominations will be open through October 10th, 2014. Submit now.

50 on Fire is the year end awards event recognizing the city’s most formidable and trailblazing companies and individuals across Boston’s most lucrative industries. Not your typical stodgy awards ceremony, the 50 on Fire are revealed in a high-octane video, live at the event as a crowd of 1,000 of the city’s top influencers cheer. 

The third-annual celebration will be on December 4th, but this year we’re bringing together the gamechanging companies and individuals in advance of the big night with a series of industry-specific meetups. 

The first of these intimate gatherings will be next Wednesday at Carrie Nation for all the Marketing/Advertising, Tech and Media folks. RSVP below to rub elbows with this year’s judges and nominees, past finalists, and industry thought leaders. Your first drink and passed hors d’oeuvres are included in your RSVP.

Then, submit nominations for 50 on Fire before they close at the end of the month. Check out some of our editors’ picks for Marketing/Advertising and Tech by clicking the links.
