Overview

The CT Hall of Fame (HOF) Program

The Hall of Fame celebrates the rich history of the consumer technology industry by honoring the leaders that have made it possible. Each year nominations are submitted online by manufacturers, retailers and journalists. These nominees are reviewed by a panel of judges that include industry professionals and media.

The entrepreneurs in the Hall of Fame are an extraordinary group. Although their achievements are different, they each had a vision, and their imaginations and hard work have created technologies, products and services to help solve some of the world’s biggest challenges. 

The 2021 Hall of Fame Awards nomination period is now closed.

One consumer technology company, one startup company and one individual consumer technology executive are selected by a panel of industry judges for the Innovation Entrepreneur Awards each year.
