Our second consecutive double issue featuring our 2024 WatchList and a recap of our 38th Annual Awards & Charities Gala has me excited. This is a very special issue, and if you receive the hard copy version, you’ll notice the flip cover with one side focusing on the WatchList and the other on the Gala.
We’ve been publishing the WatchList issue since Editor-in-Chief Scott Cullen joined us seven years ago. It’s a great way to end one year and kick off the next. Besides focusing on the trends, companies, people, and events we’ll be watching in 2024, we’ve also added a section identifying some of the products we’ll be watching.
“The Office Technology Imaging Industry Breaks on Through at The Cannata Report’s 38th Annual Awards & Charities Gala” is the cover story on the Gala side of this exciting double issue. Here, Scott offers a recap of the event. Our Story and Features Editor, Sharon Esker, covers the 8th Annual Women Influencers Brunch. The Women Influencers franchise is important to all of us at The Cannata Report, and you’ll see in Sharon’s coverage just how special this is not only to us but to the many women and others in the office technology industry. Besides those recaps, you’ll find a gallery of photos showcasing the winners, attendees, and good times shared by everyone who joined us for the Gala in the PDF. Online versions of those photo galleries will appear on our website in a five-part series starting December 26.
