November 21st, 2024 – This is IT

The award for people management in ICT & Digital teams

ICT & Digital Managers are the driving force behind the talented ICT teams of Belgian companies. That’s why Amon again put their valuable contributions in the spotlight, with the 10th edition of the award show This is IT 2024!

In the words of previous winner Sophie Van Nevel (2023): “By working hard and smart, and by building a team that is heading for the same goals, you can reach marvellous results. I want to commit to that every day, with or without an award.”

Award show with keynotes & star performance

On November 21st, 2024

It was a very exciting evening at MeetDistrict in Ghent, right at the football stadium of KAA Ghent. For once it wasn’t about football, but rather about the ICT & Digital Coach of the Year award.

Participants had 101 reasons to attend: the award ceremony, a fascinating international keynote speaker and a top performance by a famous Belgian band. With culinary delights and networking opportunities galore. A successful combination, as confirmed by the guests!
