Inman on Tuesday revealed an expanded slate of real estate awards for 2024, including the addition of honors meant to shine a light on the industry’s young leaders and achievements in the rapidly growing field of artificial intelligence.
Future Leaders in Real Estate and Inman AI Awards join Inman’s existing slate of honors, including the longstanding Inman Innovators, which will return for their 27th year in 2024. Nominations are now open for those awards, as well as the Golden I, whose winners will be announced in July at Luxury Connect.
“We are thrilled to announce the expansion of Inman’s 2024 real estate awards program, a testament to our commitment to recognizing excellence and innovation in the real estate industry,” Inman CEO Emily Paquette said.
“We have always strived to spotlight the most deserving individuals and companies across various facets of the real estate landscape,” Paquette added. “With the introduction of the Future Leaders in Real Estate and Inman AI Awards, we are excited to cast a spotlight on emerging talents and advancements in artificial intelligence that are shaping the future of real estate.”
The honorees for Inman’s eight distinctive real estate awards will be announced on a rolling basis throughout the year, with each award shining a spotlight on the most deserving companies and individuals in the real estate industry.
All awards are determined at the sole discretion of the Inman editorial team, but community input is desired. The public nominations are open for the Inman Innovator Awards, Golden I Awards, Future Leaders in Real Estate, and Inman AI Awards. All individuals and companies doing innovative work they believe worthy of recognition are encouraged to apply.
