What does it take to be a Maverick?
Mavericks see opportunities where others don't. They forge their own path. They help shape a better industry.
Candidates are evaluated on their passion for making the industry better in a meaningful way, for the actions they have taken to move the industry forward, for their courage to forge their own path in the industry, and for their impact.

Candidates may be nominated in one of five categories:
- Entrepreneurs (Starters of Businesses)
- Industry Leaders (Often Industry CEOs or other Business Leaders)
- Influence & Education (People in Media, Education, Government and other arenas who help inform and educate industry stakeholders)
- Investors (Leaders from Venture, Private Equity, or other Finance Sectors Related to the Industry)
