"We have curated what we believe is the ultimate club of business thought-leaders," according to Fast Company. "Honorees have been hand-selected from those featured in our magazine pages and will be featured in a new coverage area on our website." Awardees will be honored at an event in New York City on Wednesday, Jan. 29, at the Fast Company offices at 7 World Trade Center. A West Coast celebration is planned for San Francisco on Feb. 4.
