honoring the best of the digital industry
the vixxie awards 2027
The digital industry's newest event recognizing those who are making a difference in digital in 2026.
We celebrate innovation and results while making a real impact through the use of AI on their digital strategy and community leadership.
If you know vixxiv, you know that means the vixxies are a 'no fluff' event — just facts and outcomes, celebrating the best work in the room.

peer-judged, transparently awarded & 100% earned
Most awards these days seem to be a sponsorship line item.
The vixxies aren't.
With transparent selection criteria, a focus on proven business results and judges who embody the DOru mindset by having done the hard things, rather than just talking about them.
The vixxies are here to honor the best of the best in the digital industry, often the solopreneur founders and operators who work the long days, alone, with nobody pushing them but their own desire to succeed.
We're not just some panel inventing a tacky way to sell trophies to those who could never earn one otherwise.
If you win a vixxie, you and everyone else will know that you earned it. And such an honor grants you a lifetime of weighing in on who gets to join your esteemed colleagues in future years of awarding the hardware.
And don't worry, we aren't eligible to earn our own award? How tacky would that be, am I right?
No, this is the one place where we don't use our expertise, passion and talent to absolutely dominate the competion.
For one night a year, anyway.
