The ER & DCR Excellence Awards have officially been postponed until 2021 due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.
The event, which recognises the very best in the electrical and data centre industries, was due to take place at a gala dinner in London scheduled for September 24, 2020. However, the Covid-19 pandemic has forced organisers to move the event to May 20, 2021.
The decision to move the ER & DCR Excellence Awards to 2021 was taken to ensure the health and safety of all guests, as well as to comply with official advice on social distancing. Thankfully, however, the move does mean entries to the awards will remain open.
