Judges this year will come from across the country and around the region; bringing a global standard to the event. Head Judge again this year is Prof. Dr Aung Tun Thet, former Economic Advisor to the President and member of the Myanmar Investment Commission. He will be joined by a mixed panel of local and international judges with experience cutting across varying industries and economies. Scoring will span across a broad spectrum of categories, with awards being recognized for excellence in learning and development, career advancement programs, recruitments strategy, technology use in HR, and more. Deloitte Myanmar & Cambodia will be the official verifying partner of the judging process to ensure fairness and transparency throughout the program.

All of the buildups will lead up to the awards gala event on 7th December 2019, where winners will be crowned at a star-studded event at the Novotel Yangon Max.
