LAS VEGAS, May 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Las Vegas Global Economic Alliance (LVGEA) is proud to announce its inaugural PERSPECTIVE Awards Dinner on October 15^th. After 46 years, LVGEA is taking a bold new step by combining its signature PERSPECTIVE and Award Dinners events into one unforgettable evening — The PERSPECTIVE Awards Dinner. This premier gathering for community and economic development insights, analysis, and forecasts will unite the best of both events by honoring achievements while showcasing the ideas, leadership, and bold thinking shaping Southern Nevada's economic future. Partnering with its PERSPECTIVE Awards Council, this LVGEA event will bring together business leaders, community partners, and innovators for a night of storytelling, recognition, and forward-looking perspectives.

Building on the longstanding legacy of PERSPECTIVE as the region's premier source for economic and community insight, the 2026 awards program introduces several new categories designed to spotlight innovation, collaboration and impactful leadership across southern Nevada's rapidly diversifying economy.

The expanded awards experience will honor standout organizations and individuals driving transformative growth in areas including business development, workforce innovation, community impact, regional collaboration and emerging industries. Southern Nevada's growth story is being written by visionary leaders, innovative companies, and organizations making a lasting impact across our region and we want help recognizing them.

The nomination period will run from May 19 through July 31, with winners being notified by August 14.

Nominations are open to all sources, including self-nominations, and organizations within Clark County may be submitted in multiple categories through separate entries. A selection committee organized by the PERSPECTIVE Awards Council will review submissions and determine final award recipients. Organizations not selected may be re-nominated in future years, and award presentation in each category will be determined annually based on the selection process.

"The PERSPECTIVE Awards are evolving to better reflect the dynamic momentum happening across the region," said Danielle Casey, President & CEO of the LVGEA.
