The esteemed recipients of the Best Practices Awards will be announced during the two consecutive evening galas September 16-17, 2014.

Each year, Frost & Sullivan industry analysts compare market participants and identify best practice companies by measuring performance through in-depth interviews, analysis, and secondary research. The companies demonstrating outstanding achievement and superior performance in areas such as leadership, technological innovation, customer service, and strategic product development, are recognized with prestigious Best Practices Awards in a variety of regional and global markets.

"By bringing together cross-industry innovators and recognizing the advancements they bring to their fields, our global galas celebrate industry accomplishments and showcase the meaning of Best Practices," said Frost & Sullivan Global Vice President of Best Practices, Jeffrey Frigstad.

Each evening will host a grand gala including a networking reception, formal black-tie Best Practices Awards dinner and ceremony with live entertainment.  Before each gala, chief executives from select companies have the opportunity to participate in a CEO Leadership Roundtable providing a forum focused on strategizing market trends, and overcoming current issues companies face. Select companies will be honored with special recognitions during each evening's gala. These unique Awards are specifically tailored to the GIL event and will highlight the recipients' impressive efforts. Both evenings promise to be an exciting experience for all who attend.
