Join us in downtown Des Moines for the Business Record’s 2026 Book of Lists Unveiling, presented by the Ivy College of Business.

Start the new year in a meaningful way by networking with the region’s top leaders and influencers. You’ll be one of the first in Central Iowa to receive a copy of the new Book of Lists, and to find out who was voted the Most Influential Business Leader and Most Influential Nonprofit Organization by Business Record readers. The annual publication contains lists of businesses across 70-plus industries, a community calendar, market research, and more.

New location for 2026!

The event is 4:30-7:00 p.m. at the Hilton Des Moines Downtown. Networking begins at 4:30 p.m. with a brief program at 5:30 p.m.
