Nominate a rising leader for the 2026 40 Under 40 awards

Automatic Merchandiser’s 40 Under 40 awards recognize emerging leaders from every segment of convenience services: operators large and small, CPG companies, brokers, equipment manufacturers, technology providers and payment partners. Leadership is not defined by company size: It is defined by impact.

If someone in your organization is improving operations, advancing vending, micro markets or office coffee service, strengthening client partnerships or driving innovation, we want to hear about them.

Nominate yourself or a colleague and help us recognize the next generation of leaders shaping convenience services.

• The 2026 40 Under 40 class will be featured in the June/July 2026 issue of Automatic Merchandiser and on VendingMarketWatch.com.
• To be considered for the award, nominees must be 39 years old or younger as of July 1, 2026.
• Nominations are allowed for previous award winners and will be considered with an updated submission. 

Submit a nomination today! Deadline is April 3.
