Awards and ceremonies

[Dave Birch] Not really anything to do with Digital Identity, but I’m one of the judges for this year’s CNET UK Business Technology Awards and they are looking for nominations in a variety of categories (see below) so I was wondering if any Digital Identity Denizens had any suggestions for identity management-related products and services. I’m sure someone’s already entered the Identity & Passport Service’s National Identity Card Scheme for “Public Sector Technology Project of the Year”, but if any of you have other suggestions then do scoot over to the web site and fill out a nomination form.

The CNET Networks UK Business Technology Awards are divided into four groups.

Individual Excellence Awards: These award categories recognise the individuals or organisations which have made the most important and demonstrable impact on the UK technology industry over the last year.

I’m sure you can all think of some excellent nominees for all of these categories so I look forward to seeing the entries rolling in!
