Awards celebrating excellence in Carlsbad


As the Chair of the Board, I am thrilled to announce the upcoming Carlsbad Business and Achievement (CBAD) Awards—our annual celebration of the exceptional businesses and individuals who make Carlsbad a dynamic, innovative, and thriving community. The CBAD Awards have become a cornerstone of our local business landscape. Each year, we come together to honor those who embody the spirit of excellence, leadership, and community involvement in Carlsbad.

These awards are more than just recognition—they are a testament to the hard work, perseverance, and vision of our business community. On March 14th, 2025, the CBAD Awards will once again highlight the incredible diversity of our local economy. From small businesses that form the heart of our community to large organizations driving innovation and economic growth, this event brings attention to the businesses and professionals who are not only succeeding but are also elevating Carlsbad on the regional, state, and national stages.

The Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce is proud to shine a spotlight on the various categories of the CBAD Awards, including Small Business of the Year, Large Business of the Year, Professional of the Year, and Community Leadership Awards, among others. These categories showcase a wide array of achievements, from operational excellence and innovation to outstanding customer service and impactful community involvement.

Attending the CBAD Awards isn’t just about recognizing excellence—it’s about becoming part of the broader Carlsbad business network. Whether you’re a business owner, a community leader, or an entrepreneur, this event provides an invaluable opportunity to connect with like-minded professionals, share ideas, and build relationships that can fuel your own success.

It’s a chance to meet the local trailblazers, innovators, and change-makers who are driving Carlsbad’s economic growth and shaping its future. I encourage you to be part of this incredible afternoon. Come celebrate the achievements of our local businesses, make new connections, and help us continue to build a community where innovation, collaboration, and success are the cornerstones of everything we do. Let’s come together to celebrate the people who make Carlsbad a great place to work and thrive.

See you at the 2025 CBAD Awards!
