How many times can we tell you that these people are smart, that they are accomplished, that they hold influential positions in the industry?

Three seems about right.

So, we've created a special place of honor for those who have made the list three times, a Forty Under 40 Hall of Fame that we will publish each year along with our selections. Hall of Fame inductees are not eligible for further nomination.

We aren't forgetting them, or ignoring them.

We're retiring their numbers, acknowledging their obvious accomplishments, while making room to introduce more new faces.

The Forty Under 40 Hall of Fame is reserved for those who have been honored as a Forty Under 40 recipient three times while still under the age of 40!
