The ISPA Awards 2011 were, as usual, a great success. For NetSumo the ISPAs are a key industry event.
The turnout was great, and included many big names including AQL, Gradwell, Twitter and Three, and we were able to meet up with many old friends and colleagues whom we haven’t seen face to face for a while. It was also good to hear about people’s current hot topics and concerns and a chance to see some of our own hard work in action.
Every year the organisers select a compère to entertain us all, and to introduce the sponsors of each category. I have to say that this year’s choice, the comedian Adam Bloom, was extremely good and kept everyone very entertained.
Below are the results of the categories:
