About the 2026 event

The North East's IT and Technology Awards

Now in its thirteenth year, the Dynamites are the North East’s most highly anticipated IT and Tech awards. Since 2014, 5,182 attendees have celebrated the industry, 151 companies or individuals are the proud holders of the cherished Dynamites trophy and over 1,094 nominations have been considered by the judges. On Thursday 12th November 2026, we are expecting the biggest celebration of the industry yet.

Guests will be welcomed with a drinks reception to socialise and network with 450 attendees from 150+ organisations. From there a three course dinner will accompany the main activity for the evening; the awards themselves. The event provides an opportunity for attendees and companies to build profile and national status in joining Dynamo’s growing network.
