Nominations for the Microsoft 2018 Partner of the Year awards are now open, and the nomination tool can be accessed here. This will close on 17th April 2018 and there will be no exceptions or extensions.
What are the Microsoft Partner of the Year Awards?
The Partner of the Year Awards are presented each year at the Microsoft Inspire Conference – this year Inspire is co-habited with Microsoft Ready, meaning that there will be thousands more Microsoft staff onsite than ever before. The awards are based on a self-nominating process by partners, and this year, winners will be celebrated at Microsoft Inspire in Las Vegas, Nevada from July 15th-19th, 2018.
The awards recognise the excellence our partners have demonstrated over the past year by showcasing them across the globe. We were very impressed with the extremely high quality of all the nominations received last year, and proud to have so many UK partners recognised – this year we expect it to be even bigger.
