It enabled trading and thought leadership for the connectivity landscape including OTT & Content Providers, IXPs, ISPs, Data Centres, Cloud Service Providers, Investors, Network Providers, Law Firms, Consultancies, Government and Regulators and more."

Tech and Telecom industry awards can be a quick way to raise your profile and gain recognition for exceptional work over the past year. Even if you’re just shortlisted, you’re still being recognised by judging panels and singled as a leader in the industry.
The challenge can be getting started and engaged with an awards programme. You enter the same one or two awards every year but there are a lot of awards that tech and telecoms companies are eligible to win.
At Ilex, we have organised a number of awards schedules for our clients to ensure that the company is entering the appropriate awards and to stop crucial deadlines from being missed. Over the years, we have helped our clients win hundreds across the globe, from Asia to the Middle East, Europe and the Americas. The key has been to develop an awards programme, maintain it and write exceptional entries.
