IIA Dot IE Net Visionary Awards - Celebrating Excellence in the Digital Industry

2. A Winning Association Dear Sponsor, The Annual IIA DOT IE Net Visionary Awards will be on Friday October 7th- what has become the launch party of the entire Awards Season. The night where you’re dressed up but chilled out, where you’re laughing one minute and #totes emosh the next. The only awards where the hipsters hang with the bankers and the start-ups compete with the corporates. The ultimate mash-up meet-up of the ecosystem in one room. And what a room!!!! This October we’ll be hosting the Dot IE Net Visionary Awards at the Concert Hall of the RDS making them our biggest and bestwhile maintaining the intimate ultimate networking event where people can actually find one another and meet. We set out each year to create a unique experience for our nominees and sponsors alike– this year will continue to meet our highest standards and yours. We will not disappoint! The Awards have been sold out events for the past six years even after doubling our capacity in that time because no matter the size the IIA Dot IE Net Visionary Awards will always bear our hallmark of a fun event imbued with creativity, camaraderie and great humour. Nominations will open mid-June so to get the most from your sponsorship make sure to select your category without delay! We hope to see you soon Kind regards Joan

3. RewardingSponsorship PLATINUM HEADLINE SPONSORSHIP – Headline sponsorship of the IIA Net Visionary Awards gives you co-ownership of these leading industry awards establishing your brand as the one that truly cares about and embodies the highest industry standards and we will work with you to ensure that our shared goals for this magical night are met. GOLD LEVEL SPONSORSHIP - Last year we had our first ever ‘all-category award’ which was judged as Best in class from all the entries across all of the categories. Following on its great success, we welcome the opportunity to celebrate the all-category award again this year. The theme of the all-category award is driven by the Gold Level sponsor and is judged by them and subject matter experts in that field of excellence. Its is the penultimate award of the night! SILVER LEVEL SPONSORHIP* - We have re-examined and refreshed the categories to reflect the diversity of the IIA mission, to make Ireland a leading web enabled economy. So much to encompass and capture in just 16 categories so we have identified four HIGH LEVEL groups in which these categories naturally fall. You can now sponsor ALL four in that group for SILVER LEVEL Sponsorshipmaking your brand the key stakeholder for that entire group of awards. CATEGORY SPONSORSHIP – as always you can sponsor an individual category for the same great value as previous years but with some added extrasas we continue to reward your loyalty and support by providing the very best value in category sponsorship. JUDGING – please note that sponsors are invited to join the judging team. As the first judges meeting is at the start of July you will need to have your sponsorship booked by mid June to be sure of your place. Judging is a great way to really get to know the entries in your category. *NOTE – SILVER SPONSORSHIP IS ONLY OPEN UNTIL June 3rd
