The Innovators, an annual ranking of the 25 most innovative people, companies and technologies, is a must-anticipated part of the vibrant technology community in financial services.

Nominations for Bank Technology News’ 7th annual ranking of The Innovators, which will appear in the November 2008 issue, are now being accepted. Financial institutions and technology companies can nominate multiple candidates or participate as nominees in multiple categories.

The magazine also bestows the Peter Kight Lifetime Achievement Award and, when appropriate, inducts individuals into The Innovators Hall of Fame.

Due to the overwhelming volume of nominations, we ask that companies work in advance to meet the deadline of August 11, 2008. All nominations must include the completed form, a management bio, letters of recommendation (optional) and an electronic photo (300 dpi jpg or tiff).

In addition to The Innovators Awards Reception, Bank Technology News is also hosting its annual CIO Summit, to be held at Hard Rock Live. The daylong program is a peer-to-peer thought leadership and networking event. All discussion is confidential.
