Every December the industry comes together to celebrate the finalists and reveal the winners at a black-tie gala dinner and awards ceremony in Central London on December 6 at the Park Plaza Westminster Bridge.

Last year was the biggest event to date with nearly 1,000 guests attending. British Comedian Hugh Dennis hosted the evening held at the Park Plaza Westminster Bridge, opposite the Houses of Parliament.

For 17 years, we've been recognizing the best people, projects, and teams who put innovation at the heart of this vibrant industry sector.

It's the most anticipated and most-talked-about awards programme that annually attracts hundreds of entries from all around the world.

Ultimately, it's the strength of our judging panel that makes us the data center award-to-win, comprised of recognized experts from all the technical domains and disciplines.

They cut through the jargon and hype to find the entries that have truly made an impact. If you are working on a project or with people that deserve recognition, you should seriously consider entering.
