The Foremost 50 Forum is an invite-only celebration of exceptional and innovative challenger brands. An exclusive and intimate event, The Foremost 50 Forum features CEOs & Founders from brands on the Foremost 50 List, alumni from the previous year’s list, and other executives leading marketing, ecommerce, stores, and more at Foremost 50 challenger brands, as well as incumbent enterprise brands.
These innovative, often direct-to-consumer brands, are finding new go-to-market approaches, breaking old business models, creating new value for consumers, and charting new customer relationship models. Many of these company CEOs will be featured speakers at The Lead Summit on May 28th & 29th in New York. You can see the 2025 List HERE.
At The Foremost 50 Forum, the Standout Award ceremony is where we recognize and highlight the unique achievements and meaningful impacts these Foremost 50 honoree brands have made on the industry.
In an intimate roundtable-based session, Foremost 50 CEOs and Founders, along with extended leadership, meet to discuss the future of their brands. Its a place to create connections, dive deep, compare strategies and priorities, and to share learnings and insights around common challenges. Unique to The Lead, these roundtable formats bring peers together who can offer specific perspectives on business-critical discussions.
The Foremost 50 Forum plays host to the CEOs, Founders, and leadership of exceptional fast-growing, challenger brands. The Forum features executives from the brands selected to The Foremost 50 List, alumni from the previous year’s lists, and other leaders responsible for marketing, ecommerce, stores, and more at challenger and incumbent brands.
