"We are thrilled to be bringing the list out into the world in a whole new way this year,” stated Time editor in chief-CEO Edward Felsenthal. 

Time will also host Time100 honorees for a three-part series of "Time100 Talks," presented in partnership with Citi. The series will air on Sept. 23-25 on Time.com and across Time's social-media platforms.
