NEW YORK, Sept. 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Today New York On Tech, the premiere early pipeline tech talent accelerator working to create pathways to innovation for the next generation, announced the 19 winners of the 2018 Innovators and Disruptors Awards & Ceremony.

The organization also announced that 7 additional awards under the Ultimate Innovators and Disruptors category will be conferred during the event as well. The panel and awards show will take place Oct. 17 from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at the Paley Center for Media in New York City.

The 1st Annual Innovators and Disruptors Awards & Ceremony will recognize leaders in technology, specifically those from underrepresented backgrounds including, but not limited to: women, people of color and members of the LGBTQ community.

"Words cannot describe the excitement and joy we have in presenting a class of leaders who are moving technology and innovation in our country forward," said New York On Tech Co-founders, Jessica Santana and Evin Floyd Robinson. "The 1st Annual Innovators and Disruptors Awards is truly a needed platform in our industry to ensure we are elevating the stories and achievements of professionals who are leaving a lasting impact in their fields and communities."

This year's honorees were nominated either by themselves or other members of the tech community. All nominees were then evaluated by the several members of the Judges Committee. Judges scored every nominee in their category against 5 different standards: Their character, their community involvement, their contribution to their field and/or industry and the ways this platform could advance their careers.

Please join us Oct. 17 for the 1st Annual Innovators and Disruptors Awards & Ceremony. The event will be hosted from 6:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. at the Paley Center for Media (25 West 52nd Street, New York, NY, 10019) in New York City.

Below you can find the full list of honorees for this year's 2018 Innovators and Disruptors Awards.
