tED magazine is consistent in its quality of excellence, as is witnessed yearly by the recognition received by the American Society of Business Publication Editors (ASBPE).
Founded in 1964 as the American Society of Business Press Editors, ASBPE is the professional association for full-time and freelance editors, writers, art directors, and designers employed in the business, trade, and specialty press. The official name was changed to the American Society of Business Publication Editors in 1997 and to ASBPE in 2012.
ASPBE is widely known for its annual Awards of Excellence competition, which recognizes the best in editorial, design, and online achievement.
ASBPE’s Azbee Awards of Excellence program is one of the most competitive there is for business-to-business, trade, association, and professional publications. The awards recognize outstanding work by magazines, newsletters, and digital media — websites, e-newsletters, digital magazines, and blogs.
tED magazine has consistently received awards every year for print, design, and now online excellence. Most recently, ASBPE named tED magazine one of the ten best B2B magazines and tedmag.com one of the ten best B2B websites for 2017. It is the third time in four years tedmag.com has been named one of the ten best B2B websites. Further, lightED—tED magazine’s new website dedicated only to lighting in our supply chain—also received the top national award as the Best New B2B Website.
