UK IT Industry Awards 2026: The best moments, in pictures
Champagne, show tunes and celebrations – relive the biggest night in UK tech
The UK IT Industry Awards 2026 brought more than 900 technology leaders to Evolution London in Battersea Park. Here are some of the night's most memorable moments, from the stage to the dodgems.
The UK IT Industry Awards returned for their 16th year last night, and once again the biggest night in UK tech did not disappoint.
More than 900 technology leaders swapped their laptops for evening dress and gathered at Evolution London in Battersea Park for a three-course dinner, live entertainment and, of course, the after-party – complete with music, games and the ever-popular dodgems.
Rob Rinder kept proceedings moving as host, while guests helped raise support for this year's charity partner, The Childhood Trust.
Organised by Computing in association with BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT, this year's awards also introduced two new categories: Chartered Technology Professional of the Year and Learning Provider or Initiative of the Year.
We've already announced the full list of winners, and will have a separate winners gallery coming soon. Here, we look back at some of the moments that made the night one to remember – off-stage as well as on it.
