Was live on Thursday 22 October 2020

WATCH ON DEMAND NOW FOR FREE!

2020 has been a challenging year to say the least and it was essential that we continued to recognise the achievements around us. Recognition is a powerful way for our society to continue forward, even when it feels like it’s at a standstill. 

We were hoping to announce the winners at an in-person awards night before the end of the year, but with the ongoing COVID-19 restrictions a live event just wasn't possible. 

Therefore, on Thursday 22 October, we honoured the winners and finalists of the 2020 Digital Utility Awards at a virtual event, comprising industry presentations and the much-anticipated awards ceremony.
