The Global Equity Organisation (GEO) awards are designed to celebrate excellence in share plans all around the world. Every year, an independent panel of judges applauds companies and individuals for their dedication, innovation and industry-leading strategies.

 

The prestigious event, now in its fifteenth year, was held in the heart of downtown Boston - Massachusetts' oldest city.
