recent showreel

The UK tech awards celebrates success, rewards achievement and raises the profile of the 
UK tech community. 

Companies which are eligible for the awards include not only publicly quoted technology companies on London Stock Exchange Main Market, but also AIM tech companies and fast growing and innovative private tech companies.

The UK tech awards provides a fantastic showcase for the fast-moving tech sector and a great networking opportunity, with an attendance of over 700 people comprising tech entrepreneurs, CEOs and FDs of fast growing tech companies (both public and private), plus corporate advisors, investors (both private and institutional), and tech consultants and commentators. 
In short, an event not to be missed for the UK’s entire tech community!

The event


Sponsorship

Sponsorship opportunities sometimes become available including sponsorship of an individual award, sponsorship of the official drinks reception or sponsorship of the menu. Sponsorship opportunities are, by their very nature, limited. Costs and availability on request.


Hosting a table

Reservations will be available for tables of ten people. Numbers are strictly limited and reservations are taken on a first come, first served basis.


Advertising

Advertising in the digital brochure is welcomed and enables your key messages to reach a highly targeted audience. The digital event brochure is available to download on the night and contains details of the all nominees, the programme for the night and the menu. Uniquely, it also contains the names of all attendees, in alphabetical and table order. Thus it is widely used as  a reference post event for up to a year afterwards.


Bespoke sponsorship opportunities

We offer a range of bespoke sponsorship packages, tailor made to suit your marketing objectives and budget. Further information on request.

Charity

2024 charity collection

A collection was held at the UK tech awards 2024 in support of BBC Children in Need and BCCS. The total amount raised, which was shared equally between these two charities, was:

£11,050


 

BBC Children in Need believes that every child should have the chance to thrive. 

The charity makes sure there’s someone able to give food, clothes and beds to a child living without; someone qualified to talk to a child who is anxious, isolated or grieving; someone trained to mentor teenagers in communities facing inequality or violence; someone to be there for children living with serious illness or a disability. 

We are asking you to help make life lighter for children.

BCCS is an established children's charity that delivers vital mental health and emotional wellbeing services across East London.

The charity works to improve the lives and life chances of children and young people by offering a wide range of highly professional support and advice services for issues such as anxiety, self-harm, bullying, bereavement, parental separation and family conflict.

The charity’s unique approach is to intervene as soon as problems are identified and work with the child and their family for as long as it takes to put things right.
