ICON HONORS 2017 celebrates global innovation in the home and gift industry’s celebrated recognition

The eighth annual ICON HONORS celebrated global innovation as top achievers and superior achievements were recognized on the most anticipated and important night in the home and gift industry.

Staged at Atlanta’s world-renowned Fox Theatre on July 13, ICON HONORS guests enjoyed an evening of cocktails, an elaborate buffet, the Honors presentation and a special musical performance by the Indigo Girls. Honors were conferred upon those in the industry doing truly extraordinary things in pursuit of their dreams—those who achieve success through ingenuity, integrity, creativity, energy and hard work.

Retailers, manufacturers, sales agencies and service providers all were eligible to pursue ICON HONORS recognition in a broad field of 16 distinct categories of competition. Honorees were selected through extensive adjudication by highly qualified experts drawn from the world of design, manufacturing and product development.
