With only a few weeks left to go until Spiders 2018, the competition is heating up

After coming under the umbrella of Dublin Tech Summit, The Spider Awards, Ireland’s longest standing technology awards, will soon be upon us with a whole new look & feel for its 23rd year.

Will Brightling, CEO of Dublin Tech Summit says: “The Spiders is singlehandedly the highest level of accreditation for digital excellence in Ireland. The awards has been witness and driver of digital growth and progress in the Irish SME market for the past 22 years, and will continue to be a benchmark of association for digital capabilities and competencies. DTS is proud to take over the Spiders, to continue and mirror the growth of technology in Ireland, and champion Irelands burgeoning SME and startup community.”

Hosting the event this year will be Jess Kelly. With her background as Newstalk Tech Correspondent and having attended the event over the years, she will be an amazing host for the evening.
