The Top Seven announcement is the second stage of ICF's annual Intelligent Community awards cycle. Gaining a place among the Top Seven is a major achievement as well as a step toward even greater recognition for communities working to create prosperity and social inclusion in what ICF terms the "Broadband Economy." The cycle concludes in New York City on May 15, 2009 during ICF’s annual Building the Broadband Economy Summit (www.icfsummit.com).
