Home > More Events > Ethernet Expo 2009 Leading Lights Awards Information Light Reading's Leading Lights Awards, established in 2004, are the most respected industry awards program, through which the top companies and their executives are recognized for their outstanding achievements in the communications industry. The Leading Lights Awards will be announced at a special gala dinner on Tuesday, November 3, 2009, following the first day of Light Reading's Ethernet Expo in New York City. The more intimate, exclusive format was hugely successful last year, and we've got the pics to prove it! The awards categories and judging criteria have been developed based on our publication's 9+ years, and our top editors and analysts' combined decades of experience, analyzing telecommunications. We get a rousing response to our program each year, and there have been more than 1,100 entrants over the past five years. Out of all those entries, only eight awards will be handed out. And you could be sitting front row center to soak in all the thrills – while enjoying fine food and great cocktails. Why do the Leading Lights Awards matter? Because Light Reading's reputation for fiercely independent analysis instantly makes this the most credible and authoritative awards program in the industry – and it provides telecom companies with an amazing opportunity to evangelize their expertise and success.
