Hillary Smith, partner of Koncept Events, was recognized as an industry leader in Collaborate magazine’s first-ever “40 Under 40” feature in the April/May 2012 issue. Collaborate is a national magazine that provides resources and ideas to planners in the corporate meetings industry.

Smith was nominated by her peers in the corporate meetings world. Numerous nominations were reviewed and evaluated by the Collaborate editorial staff based on references, industry involvement and honors, social media presence and other industry resources. The “40 Under 40” feature was not advertising-driven and not connected with any promotional contest, making this truly an honor for those selected.

“This group of individuals represents the present and future of our industry,” said Chris Collinson, chief strategist of Collinson Media and Events. “They were selected by their peers, reinforcing their status as industry influencers.” The entire list of recognized honorees and individual profiles can be found at collaboratemeetings.com/40-under-40.
