Insider Yorkshire Digital & Technology Awards

Date: 2nd December 2010 - The Queens Hotel, Leeds

Are you bowled over by some of the talent you have seen in the Yorkshire digital and creative sector?

 

Perhaps you work in the sector itself, and feel the project you are working on at the moment, or the piece of technology you are developing, really needs wider attention. Even if you don’t work directly in the industry, perhaps you have seen a mind-blowing website that establishes a new benchmark in quality, or a piece of digital equipment you think could really make a difference to our lives or the way we do business.

 

Whatever your situation, if you wonder why so many companies think they have to go to London for creative work when so much excellent work goes on up here, then the Insider Yorkshire Digital & Technology Awards are for you. Whether you are in the industry or just an interested observer, we want to hear from you.

 

The awards were originally scheduled for June 23rd this year, but with the introduction of some new award categories for 2010, it took longer than usual to collate these entries and the decision was taken to postpone the event.

 

December’s event will mark the 11th year of our dinner, and this year it will contain new categories to reflect the changing world of technology and expertise in the region. Fourteen awards will be presented at the dinner, details of which you can read below.

 

Here at Insider we think it’s really important to talk up the importance of the creative and digital sector at a time like this. Too much of what the industry does in this region is still taken for granted, yet the possibilities of what the industry could achieve – both for itself and for the regeneration and future development of Yorkshire as a whole – are enormous.

 

So do you need any more reasons? Why not enter now?
