In its fifth consecutive year, AlwaysOn challenged companies to demonstrate that they excelled in five primary categories: innovation, market potential, commercialization, stakeholder value creation, and media buzz. During the two-and-a-half day executive event, the top CEO's from the OnMedia 100 will present their market strategies in a series of "CEO Showcases" and engage in high-level debates on which forces are disrupting user behavior and creating new opportunities through technology and innovation. The agenda for OnMedia NYC can be found here: http://alwayson.goingon.com/AOEvents/OnMedia/OnMedia-NYC-2011.

"When choosing this year's finalists from among the many submissions we received, we took three key criteria into account: the innovative nature of the company; the impact that we thought their products might have on their respective markets; and their ability to leave a lasting impression on our audience," said Tony Perkins , CEO & Founder, AlwaysOn. "The very high quality and variety of the entries we received this year shows that the OnMedia Top 100 continues to be the essential focal point for innovation in the media world.

"I congratulate every winner selected for this year's award and greatly look forward to watching these companies as they stimulate economic growth and further diversify the industry," added Perkins.
