The Digital Technology Leaders Awards 2023 honour the technologists running IT.

Whether operational or strategic, these are the people and companies making it all happen.

Every year, Computing celebrates their achievements with an awards ceremony in central London, and this year - our 50th - we pulled out all the stops.

More than 250 people, from organisations across public and private sectors, came together to do the same, starting with a champagne reception.

After the reception, guests took their seats for dinner - ready to celebrate each other's success. They were welcomed by Computing editor Tom Allen, who spoke about the fundamental change in perceptions of IT - and the IT team - in recent years.

Lucy Hill of Macmillan Cancer Support, Computing's charity partner for the evening, took over to speak about the importance of the cause.

Guests were treated to a sumptuous three course dinner - and then, just before the awards, comedian Jimmy McGhie took to the stage to keep everyone entertained with comments about weekends in Canary Wharf, the difficulty of meeting people in your 30s, and some lively audience banter.

And then it was time for the awards themselves - see the gallery above for shots of our winners.

Finally, it was time for our guests to let their hair down and celebrate - an opportunity they grabbed with both hands.
