The IACET Awards Program showcases the best of the best of the nominations presented.
Continuing Education and Training providers who earn the IACET Accreditation Standing undergo a rigorous peer-review process that sends a message to their respective industries that they have met or exceeded IACET Accredited Standard for Continuing Education and Training. One organization and one individual per category is the recipient of the award. To submit a nomination for the 2025 award year, please complete the nomination form via ProposalSpace.
Award recipients are honored at the IACET Awards Reception on Wednesday, October 22, 2025, at The Hyatt Regency Mission Bay, 1441 Quivira Rd, San Diego, CA 92109. If you have questions about the process, please contact Missy Thompson at Melissa.Thompson@iacet.org.
