Awards
ICT / Digital Project of the Year
What matters is not the scale of the project, but the value it creates. From ambitious transformations to smart, focused solutions, the jury looks for initiatives that demonstrably strengthen the organisation.
Projects must be recently completed and show tangible results, and are evaluated by a professional and academic jury based on innovation, execution and business relevance.
CIO of the Year
The winner is chosen by a professional jury and public voting, reflecting both expert insight and recognition from the wider industry.
Do you know a CIO who deserves this recognition?
Event
Are you fit for the future? In a world where technology never stands still, staying ahead requires more than vision alone. This year’s theme, Fit for the Future, takes inspiration from the mindset of top athletes — resilience, focus and the ability to perform under pressure.
Throughout the evening, we bring that perspective into the world of IT leadership, with insights from both digital leaders and a selection of inspiring voices from the world of sport.
Join us live to experience the energy of the night and be there as the winners take the stage to receive their awards.
