Established in 1988, the Computerworld Honors Program brings together the Chairmen and CEOs of the world’s foremost information technology companies to recognize the most outstanding user achievements in technology each year.

The process culminates in an awards ceremony with a guest list that represents a who’s who in IT. The technology achievements honored by this program are preserved and protected in national archives, and in over 100 universities, museums and research institutions throughout the world.

100 Chairmen/CEOs from top information technology companies make up the Computerworld Honors Chairmen's Committee.

Each Chairmen's Committee member or company submits nominations for the people or organizations they feel demonstrated extraordinary use of information technology that benefited society this past year.

From the field of nominations, roughly 250-300 Laureates are chosen and are honored at the medal ceremony in June.

From the field of Laureates, 50 Finalists are selected - five for each of the 10 categories of the awards.

Finalists and members of the Chairmen's Committee, along with other industry luminaries, come together for the Laureate Medal Ceremony and Gala Awards Evening June 1, 2009, where the 10 overall award recipients are announced.
