National Digital Awards celebrates its inaugural winners at Fogo de Chão as plans begin for an even bigger 2027 celebration
The winners, sponsors and partners of the inaugural National Digital Awards came together this week for a special Winners Lunch at Fogo de Chão Birmingham, celebrating the success of the awards and the remarkable achievements recognised across the UK’s digital sector.
The relaxed gathering provided an opportunity for award winners, sponsors, judges and industry partners to reconnect, share experiences, reflect on the success of the inaugural awards and build new relationships in an informal setting.
The lunch also marked the official launch of the National Digital Awards 2027, with organisers confirming that the next awards ceremony will take place on Friday 2nd July 2027 at the Birmingham Conference & Events Centre (BCEC), Birmingham.
Since its launch, the National Digital Awards has quickly established itself as a prestigious platform dedicated to recognising excellence, innovation and outstanding achievement across the UK’s digital landscape. From agencies and technology providers to digital leaders, developers, marketers and innovators, the awards celebrate the individuals and organisations driving the industry forward.
The inaugural awards attracted an exceptional calibre of entries from across the UK, highlighting the incredible talent, creativity and innovation that exists throughout the digital sector. Beyond recognising excellence, the awards have helped create new connections, celebrated success and strengthened collaboration across the industry.
Speaking at the winners’ lunch, National Digital Awards Co-Founder Qasim Majid said:
“The National Digital Awards were created to give the digital industry the celebration it truly deserves. Our vision has always been about much more than presenting trophies; it’s about bringing together a community that is transforming businesses, driving innovation and shaping the future. Seeing our winners, sponsors and partners reconnect in such a relaxed environment demonstrates exactly what these awards are about. We are incredibly proud of the impact the inaugural awards have already had and are excited to build on that momentum as we launch the 2027 programme.”
Ifraz Ahmed and Anita Chumber, Co-Founders of B Events, and part of the founding team for the National Digital Awards added:
“Curating the National Digital Awards has been an incredibly rewarding journey. From the very beginning, our ambition was to create far more than an awards ceremony. We wanted to establish a platform that genuinely celebrates excellence, encourages collaboration and shines a spotlight on the people and organisations driving digital innovation across the UK. The response from the industry has exceeded our expectations, and the winners’ lunch perfectly demonstrated the strength of the community that is growing around these awards. We are immensely proud of what has been achieved in year one and are excited to raise the bar even further in 2027.”
Following the success of the inaugural awards, the organisers have also announced that the 2027 programme will include a review of several award categories. Having listened carefully to feedback from entrants, judges, sponsors and the wider digital community, B Events is committed to ensuring the awards continue to evolve alongside the industry they represent.
The organisers believe the strength of the National Digital Awards lies in listening to the community and creating an awards programme that genuinely reflects the people, businesses and innovations shaping the UK’s digital economy. Several categories will be refined and enhanced for 2027, ensuring they remain relevant to the ever-evolving digital landscape and continue to recognise the achievements that matter most to the sector.
Nominations for the National Digital Awards 2027 will be opening soon, so watch this space. Further announcements, including the refreshed categories and key dates, will be revealed over the coming weeks as preparations begin for what promises to be an even bigger and more impactful celebration of digital excellence.
