New Awards Model:

  • Our traditional awards program, presented annually at the TBM Conference in November, is now officially branded as the Global TBM Council Awards. Submissions for those awards open in May.
  • Beginning this year, two of our most prestigious awards – TBM Pioneer and TBM Professional of the Year – will now be presented in each global region at its respective annual summit or gathering.
  • Organizations and individuals from any region may still apply for Global award categories (e.g., Cloud Value, Financial Impact, Public Sector, etc.) when those nominations open in May.
 

Japan Region Launch:

Nominations are now open for the first regional awards under this new model: EMEA TBM Council Awards

  • Submissions for the two Japan awards close May 1, with finalists announced in June, and winners recognized at TBM Summit Japan on July 17 in Tokyo.
  • Regional award recipients will also be recognized during the global awards ceremony at TBM Conference in November – meaning our regional finalists and winners will now receive twice the recognition!

The inaugural Japan TBM Council Awards will recognize excellence in the following two categories:
  • TBM Pioneer (Japan) – Celebrates high maturity organizations that deliver breakthrough outcomes through advanced TBM use cases, practices or models. View Submission Support
