About The Vanguard Honors

A New Name. The Same Mission.

Formerly known as The Vanguard Brunch, The Vanguard Honors reflects the continued evolution of an experience that has always been about more than a meal.

Created by Xposure Magazine, the inaugural event introduced an intimate gathering dedicated to recognizing leaders, entrepreneurs, creatives, public servants, philanthropists, and changemakers whose work continues to move culture forward. As the vision expanded, so did the name.

Today, The Vanguard Honors represents the next chapter of that journey.

While meaningful connection, celebration, and community remain at the heart of the experience, the new name reflects a broader purpose: creating a premier platform that honors excellence while continuing to grow through new experiences, strategic partnerships, and expanded opportunities to recognize extraordinary individuals.

As The Vanguard Honors evolves, so will its impact. What began as a signature brunch experience is growing into a dynamic platform dedicated to celebrating leadership, innovation, service, and cultural influence wherever it is found.

Presented annually by Xposure Magazine, The Vanguard Honors is more than an event. It is a growing tradition rooted in purpose, legacy, and the belief that those moving culture forward deserve to be recognized.
