SDC AWARDS 2022
13th edition of Angel Business Communications' premier IT awards will be lucky for some!
This year, we're planning on making the SDC Awards bigger and better than ever, and that's why we're launching them so early – to give you plenty of notice to make sure that your product launches, customer success stories and overall company brilliance will be recognised during 2022. And we've also got our editor, Phil Alsop, on the case. He'll be spotting potential award winners via the news, case studies and articles he receives over the next few months, and we'll be inviting these companies to be a part of our awards as well. And we already have our headline sponsor – Exagrid.
The deadline for nominations is beginning of September. But we recommend that, as and when you do something that you think deserves recognition at our awards, please do send us an entry at the time, rather than wait until the very last minute. Not only will that ensure that you don't miss the deadline, but it also means that there will be more time for the voting and promoting process, as we'll be featuring the awards finalists extensively across our Digitalisation World media platform well ahead of the awards ceremony at the end of the year.
GET INVOLVED
Awards entries are entirely free of charge, and you can enter as many products and projects as you like – we'll be surprised if you don't find at least one category that's relevant. So, get nominating your technology, your customers and your staff and your company achievements.
We're delighted to say that we already have a main sponsor for the SDC Awards 2022 – Exagrid – but there are plenty of other sponsorship opportunities available, and your company will receive extensive promotion ahead of the awards ceremony, on the night itself and in the post-event publicity. There are many great value packages to share with you, so please do get in touch.
And don't forget to book your table for the Awards evening. It's a great way for your company to celebrate in the run-up to Christmas – with a drinks reception, excellent dinner, top-draw comedian and post-awards entertainment. And, for the first time this year, companies booking a table at the awards dinner will receive a Digitalisation World marketing promotion, giving them a free Zoom video interview/etc. etc.. We think that's giving you unbeatable value!
