Nominations Open For Pollstar’s Impact: NextGen 2026

As Pollstar is preparing to go to print on our July issue, featuring 2026’s Impact 50 list, we are looking ahead to our next chance to honor folks in the live business. Pollstar is currently accepting nominations for 2026’s Impact: NextGen, celebrating young professionals who have distinguished themselves early in their career in live entertainment.

The inaugural Impact NextGen class was unveiled in 2019, featuring honorees who have become some of the most well respected folks in the business, including superstar agents, managers and promoters including Jarred Arfa, Shirin Nury, Noah Assad, Jared Braverman and Anna Savage, among others.

Please help us by nominating those who represent the future superstars in our business. Along with the name, title and company of the nominee, please include any relevant details about their most recent accomplishments. Nominations can be submitted here through June 19. The final list will be published in Pollstar‘s September 2025 issue. Please reach out to nominations@pollstar.com with any questions.
