CBJ's Fastest Growing Companies event identifies and honors the region’s most dynamic companies making significant contributions to the strength of the local economy.

Honorees are ranked according to revenue growth over a two-year period; both dollar and percentage increases are taken into account. The rankings of the top companies will be announced at the event, with videos on each company. The CEO from the No. 1 Fastest Growing Company and Entrepreneur of the Year will share their stories.
