Awards Programs

The Northern Virginia Technology Council recognizes leaders in the technology community through several well-respected awards programs throughout the year.

NVTC Data Center Awards

As businesses and consumers generate exponentially more data and demand for data storage, protection, and analytics, data centers are increasingly recognized as the backbone of technology and innovation worldwide. Virginia has emerged as the world's largest data center market, and the data center sector is now a substantial economic driver statewide.

NVTC will host the 2023 NVTC Data Center Awards on February 22, 2023. The statewide business community and public sector leaders are all invited to celebrate these successes with NVTC and the data center community.

Various award categories will recognize data centers that implement innovative construction projects, energy efficient practices, or impactful community engagements. In addition, the awards will honor individuals who have advanced the data center sector or championed the industry. All of the award categories will be judged by an independent panel of business leaders.
