Celebrating the BEST in Telecoms!
The ITP Telecoms Awards are back for their 18th consecutive year, bringing together the brightest minds and most dedicated professionals in the telecoms industry. This event is an opportunity to recognise and celebrate those making a real impact - whether through innovation, leadership, or outstanding contributions to the sector.
Each year, we shine a light on the individuals and organisations driving change, and 2025 will be no different. Whether you’re an industry veteran or an emerging talent, this is an evening to come together, reflect on achievements, and look ahead to the future of telecoms.
Our awards are judged by industry experts with a deep understanding of the telecoms sector. This ensures that all accolades are industry-recognised, credible, and a true mark of excellence - trusted by clients, partners, employers, and colleagues alike.
Entries are now closed for submission. Finalists will be notified at the start of September, and winners will be announced at the awards ceremony on Wednesday 8th October, at The Royal Lancaster, London.
