A spectacular crowd, a spectacular night.
Last night, we discovered what happens when over 1,000 of Boston’s best come together to mark a year in innovation: one electrifying evening none of us will soon forget.
We are still basking in the glow of last night’s 50 on Fire. From the moment the doors opened until last call at the After Party, the celebration was nonstop. The night was free of the usual stuffy awards pomp as inspiring figures across all industries hit the Moakley Courthouse, meeting and mingling, drinking and dancing.
Of course, the highlight of the evening was crowning the new “50 on Fire.” The winners were revealed in a captivating video created by Jamtron, featuring stunning photos from Michael Piazza. Guest watched with anticipation as our city’s most notable gamechangers, visionaries, and industry leaders flashed onscreen. The room with exploded with cheers and applause as we toasted the extraordinary companies and individuals igniting Boston’s innovative spirit
For those who couldn’t make it to 50 on Fire, you’re likely burning with curiousity wondering who scored last night’s top prize. Without further ado, here are the newly crowned “50 on Fire.”
