The Internet Services Providers Association (ISPA UK) has begun the search for the 2024 Internet Hero! The Hero award looks to celebrate an individual or an organisation that has gone above and beyond to impact the internet and its community positively. New to this year, we are looking for nominations of any organisation or individual who have dedicated themselves to driving connectivity forward in the UK over the past 12 months and beyond.
Last year this esteemed award was presented to the DWP Digital team for delivering the broadband social tariff API, working in partnership with the ISP community to make a real difference to those that needed it most.
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 Tuesday 1st October.
Our 2024 Hero will be announced alongside other winners on Thursday 21st November 2024 at the prestigious Raffles London at the OWO hotel. 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.
The awards would not be made possible without the support of the 2024 ISPA Awards sponsors: Adtran, Altnets, Calix, Ciena, Clarity, Draytek, eero, EPS Global, Genexis, Heights Telecom, IQGeo, Linksys, Magrathea, Netgem, Netskrt, Nexfibre, PSI, TP-Link, Vetro and VIAVI Solutions.
