WHO WE ARE
Founded in 2005 by serial entrepreneur Nicky Wake, Don’t Panic started life as a small team working from a second bedroom. Since then, the company has grown steadily into an international events business, shaped by a long-standing commitment to creativity, innovation, and collaboration.
Today, Don’t Panic delivers a wide range of events, including award ceremonies, conferences, networking events, and exhibitions. Alongside client projects, the company also owns and produces its own portfolio of established awards programmes, many of which are recognised worldwide. Everything the team delivers is supported by hands-on experience, attention to detail, and a genuine passion for bringing people together through well-crafted events.
THE GLOBAL BUSINESS TECH AWARDS
The Global Business Tech Awards were founded in 2021 to celebrate the organisations, teams, and individuals driving innovation and excellence in business technology worldwide. Created to recognise the vital role technology plays in transforming industries, the awards shine a spotlight on those delivering cutting-edge solutions, redefining best practice, and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in an increasingly digital global economy.
Since their inception, the awards have brought together global technology leaders, pioneering businesses, and forward-thinking teams to celebrate achievement, share insight, and showcase the work shaping the future of business tech. The ceremony has become a key date in the industry calendar, fostering collaboration and recognising excellence across a diverse and rapidly evolving sector.
As the awards continue to grow, they reflect the scale and impact of the global business technology landscape, welcoming entries from organisations of all sizes and sectors worldwide. This ongoing evolution ensures the Global Business Tech Awards remain at the forefront of recognising innovation, while staying true to their founding mission of celebrating technology that drives real business impact.
