PROVIDENCE – Providence Business News held its premier networking event of the season, the Book of Lists party, at the Providence Public Library on Thursday night.

Nearly 400 people attended the event, including company and civic leaders. The event marked the publication of the 28th edition of PBN’s Book of Lists, a compilation of the region’s top businesses and organizations.

All those who attended received a copy. Subscribers also will receive their book with this week’s issue of PBN.

It also is available in electronic form HERE.

There are 97 lists in the Book, featuring thousands of local companies, organizations and people. The Book is a snapshot of Rhode Island’s economy, and a closer look at the Ocean State’s industry leaders and wavemakers.

The Book is sponsored by Bank of America, BlumShapiro, CB Richard Ellis – NE Partners, Community College of Rhode Island, Cox Business, Gallo | Thomas Insurance, Kelly & Mancini PC and Omni Hotels & Resorts.

The cover of this year’s Book is Rhode Island’s new logo, unveiled in 2016 by R.I. Commerce Corp. during an otherwise flawed marketing campaign rollout. The message: Rhode Island is sailing forward in spite of negativity and setbacks.

This was the fourth year the event was held at the library, and Russell Morin Catering & Events provided food.
