Our third consecutive double flipbook issue featuring our 2025 WatchList and highlights from our 39th Annual Awards & Charities Gala is a keeper. This is a special issue, and if you receive the hard copy version, you’ll notice the flip cover with one side dedicated to the WatchList and the other to the Gala. Our WatchList, compiled by Editor-in-Chief Scott Cullen, focuses on the trends, companies, people, and products we’ll be watching in 2025. Flipping the cover over to the Gala side, you’ll find a recap of the event and our Women Influencers Brunch, dozens of photos from the Brunch and the Gala, and photos of Frank Award winners. In addition, you’ll find, on the PDF version, the complete musical playlist from the evening, including a link to Gala’s soundtrack. As you will see, it was another successful evening that brought together leaders from all segments of the office technology industry.
