The Internet Services Providers Association (ISPA UK) is once again searching for the Internet Hero! The Hero award celebrates an individual or an organisation that has gone above and beyond to impact the internet and its community positively. We are accepting nominations of any organisation or individual who have dedicated themselves to driving connectivity forward in the UK over the past 12 months and beyond. 

Whether it is through driving the expansion of gigabit fibre networks, protecting users’ online security, or addressing digital inclusion challenges, if you know either a deserving individual or a dedicated organisation, this is a fantastic opportunity to celebrate those who have played a pivotal role in advancing the UK’s digital future, as well as ensuring that everyone can benefit from a connected society. To submit a nomination, please send the name of the individual/organisation and list your reasons for the nomination to awards@ispa.org.uk, or via social media using the hashtag #internethero. The deadline for submission is Friday 17th October.

Our 2025 Hero will be announced alongside other winners on Thursday 13th November 2025 at the City Central at the HAC in the City of London. Book your tickets to the internet’s largest celebration of the industry here. All those nominated will receive a free ticket to attend the ceremony as ISPA’s guest.
