The judges' votes are in. Constellation Research is happy to announce the finalists for fifth annual SuperNova Awards for leaders in disruptive technology! The Constellation SuperNova Awards recognize the leaders and teams leading successful disruptive technology implementation projects.

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 21, 2015 the polls open to the public. Be sure to return to the Constellation website to vote for SuperNova Award winners!

The SuperNova Award finalists will join the Constellation team at The SuperNova Awards Gala Dinner on November 5, 2015 where we will announce the winners of the 2015 SuperNova Awards. The Gala Dinner will take place on the first night of Constellation’s Connected Enterprise innovation summit.
