In 2013 GABA celebrated the 10th anniversary with its first Gala at the City Club of San Francisco. After receiving overwhelming positive feedback, the Gala became GABA’s most high profile signature event which brings together the very best of business and technology.

Each year, an outstanding individual receives the GABA Award of Excellence.
