Sponsorship opportunities

  
The World Vendor Awards (WVA) is widely recognised as the most trusted and global industry event of its kind in the communications industry. Over 250 influencers and decision-makers, CEOs and senior executives will gather in a spectacular evening ceremony and gala dinner to witness key industry players being awarded for their contribution to the industry during the preceding year.
 
The 2012 awards programme highlights the theme, 'Designing the Future' This reflects the way in which hardware, software and solutions providers for telecom operators are fundamental in driving innovation in global communications. In many respects, they are responsible for how the industry develops and delivers new products and services. They are literally designing the future.

The first two years of the awards have seen 100+ individual vendor companies enter the awards, representing a global community that spans Europe, North America, Middle East and Africa. 250 people attended the 2011 awards night in Shakespeare’s home, The Globe theatre. Almost every shortlisted company was represented on the night, and every winner was represented with a fantastic turnout from some of the most senior names in the industry. 
 
2012 will build on this early success, with a new venue and a thoroughly revised list of categories reflecting both traditional and emerging product solution areas. For sponsors the WVA combine outstanding marketing exposure, the opportunity to be seen recognising success and ambition, and a truly unique chance to network and entertain at one of the most impressive events in the global telecom calendar.
