How to Attend the Awards

This year, we are excited to be hosting the Network X Awards at Hotel de Ville in Paris.
All shortlisted companies are required to purchase two seats to the Awards so that they are present to potentially collect their award! Tickets will be available for purchase on our website shortly.
Judging Methodology
Network X judges are selected based on their market knowledge, industry standing and impartiality. Each category will have its own set of judges, with typically 5+ judges per category.
Judges independently and anonymously score each entry out of 10, based on information submitted within the entry and the supporting materials.
Scores are tallied and the entrant with the best average score wins. In the event of a tie, judges will be asked to choose between the tied entrants to decide on a winner.
Any entrant trying to provide additional information or influence the judges will be removed from the awards process.
Confidentiality Statement
Informa Tech, organiser of the Network X Awards, recognises and respects the sensitive nature of the information submitted in the entries. We ensure that this recognition is shared by the judging panel and that entries are not disclosed or discussed outside the judging process.
The judging panel is selected to avoid any conflict of interest. Once an entry is shortlisted, extracts from the entry summary only will be sourced for inclusion in the awards ceremony and any subsequent editorial coverage.
Please ensure your entry summary contains no confidential or sensitive information
