Now in their sixth year, the awards – which are hosted by the Cloud Industry Forum (CIF) in association with Cloud Pro – showcase and celebrate the great and the good of the UK’s cloud industry.

The awards will take place on 16 May 2019 at the prestigious County Hall in London.
Entries will be scrutinised by an expert panel of judges, headed up by cloud expert Jez Back as head judge.
“The UK Cloud Awards have rightly earned their spot as one of the most credible and innovative events in the technology awards calendar, so I am delighted to assume the mantle as head judge this year,” Back said.
“To ensure that we can keep pace with the industry we have included new categories focused on next-generation technologies, such as AI, and emerging techniques such as DevOps.
