A Celebration of the World’s Most Innovative Companies

The Most Innovative Companies Summit and Gala is back for a third year to recognize the newest class of trailblazing honorees and celebrate those of the past. Under the theme of "Leading for Tomorrow," the MIC Summit and Gala will feature an inspiring lineup of speakers and thought-provoking discussions focused on business leadership driving positive impact.

Whether you join us for daytime programming at the Summit or our glamorous black tie gala in the evening—or even better, both—it's the ultimate opportunity to raise a glass to your company's success as one of Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies.
