SuperNova Award LogoThe judges' votes are in. Constellation Research is happy to announce the finalists for fourth annual SuperNova Awards for leaders in disruptive technology! The Constellation SuperNova Awards are the first and only awards to celebrate the leaders and teams who have overcome the hurdles of technology adoption to successfully introduce emerging and disruptive technologies to their organizations.  

We at Constellation know advancing the adoption of disruptive technology is not easy. Disruptive technology adoption often faces resistance from supporters of the status quo, myopia, and financial constraint. We believe actors fighting these forces to champion disruptive technology in their organizations help, not only their organizations, but society as a whole to realize the potential of new and emerging technologies.

On September 9, 2014 the polls open to the public, and you'll be able to cast your votes for your favorite SuperNova Award finalists!

The winners of the SuperNova Awards will be announced at the SuperNova Awards Gala Dinner on October 29, 2014 in Half Moon Bay, California. The gala dinner will take place on the first night of Constellation’s Connected Enterprise innovation summit.
