In 2025, Business Link Media Group proudly launches the inaugural Niagara 40 Under Forty Alumni Summit—a milestone gathering designed to reconnect, celebrate, and inspire the region’s most accomplished young leaders.
​
This special event builds on over two decades of excellence. Since 2004, the 40 Under Forty Business Achievement Awards have recognized more than 840 outstanding individuals who have shaped Niagara’s business and community landscape. As we continue to honour that legacy, the Alumni Summit marks an exciting new chapter—bringing together past recipients for meaningful dialogue, reflection, and future-focused collaboration.
​
The 2025 Alumni Summit, taking place this September, is more than a gathering—it’s an opportunity to elevate leadership, celebrate impact, and build momentum for the next generation driving Niagara forward.
