The PrintIT Awards 2020 will celebrate the achievements of the vendors, distributors, service providers, resellers and individuals who work within our vital, dynamic and ever-changing industry, at a glittering awards ceremony on October 8 at The Tower Hotel, Tower Bridge, London PrintIT Awards 2020 awards that do exist tend to be a bolt-on to broader IT or FM industry programmes or have a narrow focus on product, ignoring the people and businesses who make this great industry what it is. The team at Kingswood Media, the publishers of PrintIT Reseller magazine, as well as sister publications Technology Reseller, Managed IT, Businessinfo and P2P , firmly believe that these achievements should be recognised and rewarded. We think it is time the vendors, distributors, service providers, resellers and individual people who work for them, get the plaudits they deserve. This is why we have made the decision to launch the sector’s first dedicated awards programme. You’ve got to be in it to win it The PrintIT Awards 2020 will celebrate the achievements of this vital, ever-changing technology sector with a comprehensive programme of awards (see opposite), covering all aspects of the industry. Entering the awards is simple and straightforward, simply visit www. printitawards.co.uk and register your details. Our awards are based on merit, not on the number of votes received with the exception of three vendor award categories (see opposite) where dealers, resellers, managed print and IT service providers are invited to cast their votes. The remaining category entries will be judged by an independent panel of specialists handpicked by us based on their knowledge and experience of the marketplace. We’ve designed the awards process to ensure that we reward parties based on their excellence in the industry, the quality of their products and their dedication to service. (You can meet the judges on page 28.) The awards will officially launch on February 3, and to be in with a chance of winning an award, you must submit your entries by 5pm June 5. It is completely free to nominate your company for an award, so there’s no excuse not to throw your hat in the ring!
