Take The Cake Award

Take the Cake Award

Each year at the conclusion of M2W®, we ask attendees which speaker they found to be the most influential, which session brought them information and insight that they can't wait to get back to the office and implement. We tally up the responses and honor the speaker who Takes the Cake with a beautiful handmade glass cake plate from the talented glass blowers at Simon Pearce in Vermont. For M2W® 2011, the chosen speaker will also receive a bike from the Award Sponsor, Trek!
