The ERP Today Awards 2024 took place on December 12 at The Park Plaza London Riverbank hotel, as hosted in style by Annette Slunjski, global chief events officer for Wellesley Information Services (WIS).
As always, the awards celebrate those who are not only meeting the demands of today’s global enterprise technology sector, but setting the standards for tomorrow’s success. The ERP Today Awards 2024 very much continued its tradition in venerating both the industry’s global leaders and its emerging innovators and disruptors.
Moving away from previous venues and formats, the evening was a new, more intimate way for Insiders to network and recognize their achievements over the last year, coming together amidst the Park Plaza’s classy environs within the heart of London.
