Mark your calendars for the evening of Friday, Feb. 28, 2014 and make plans to join the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce as it recognizes the best in business at its Annual Business Awards Dinner.

This year, the theme is "The Spirit of the Twenties: Business is Roaring."
The event will draw parallels between the present day boom of science, technology and progress with the excitement of the 1920s.

"In exploring this theme, we were amazed by the similarities between the eras," said Toni Padron, the Chamber's COO and executive vice president.

"New technologies such as cars, telephones and movies spurred those exciting times, in a similar way that modern-day advancements in areas of the sciences and technologies are opening new frontiers for us."

The Annual Business Awards Dinner has a reputation as a must-attend event for the area's business and community leaders, making it Carlsbad's largest celebration of business, entrepreneurship and success. No details are spared to make the evening glamorous and inviting. We have many surprises this year, so stay tuned.

The Chamber is also tweaking the categories of the awards that it presents as a way of showcasing Carlsbad's key industries. Awards will be presented to the top companies in the following fields: Information and Communications Technology; Action Sports & Manufacturing; Life Sciences; Hospitality & Leisure; and Clean Technologies.

The nomination period opens on Dec. 1 on our website, www.carlsbad.org.

Nominations can come from a number of sources: From the businesses themselves or their employees, business partners or clients.
