W.Media’s Cloud & Datacenter Awards encourages industry transformation and innovation by recognising achievement and excellence.
Since 2018 our following has grown exponentially across the Asia Pacific. IT and data centre professionals from both established and younger markets have come forward in multitudes to network and learn through W.Media’s platforms and the Awards are following that path.
For the Award’s 4th year anniversary, we are championing our 3 P’s for the Cloud and Datacenter industry: Planet, Project, and People.
Our Awards are separated into two regions. Gulf Awards will be celebrating their winners over a cocktail ceremony while APAC (Australasia, South Asia, Southeast Asia and Northeast Asia) winners will be celebrating their winners over a ceremony and gala dinner.
Coming Soon in Dubai
Our Award winners will be announced at our spectacular Cocktail Ceremony in Dubai. Over 150+ C-level executives will be gathering to celebrate together and reflect on the outstanding achievements of the industry this year. This exclusive event will be the highlight of the year and feature live entertainment and networking drinks sessions.
Seats and tables can be purchased but are limited. To ensure your place at this premier event sponsorship is highly recommended.
