Veeam Innovation Awards

Showcasing Excellence and Outcomes Powered by Veeam

Each year, Veeam opens nominations for the Veeam Innovation Awards (VIAs) to highlight some of the great solutions and outcomes that are achievable with Veeam technologies. After the nomination period, a judging panel made up of industry experts, from both inside and outside Veeam, then determines each year’s winners. The VIA winners will be announced at VeeamON — and one of them will be voted on and crowned as “Best in Show”.

Nominations for VIA 2024 are now open!

For 2024, we're aiming for three VIA categories:

  • Customer category – celebrating great outcomes, recoveries, etc.  Customers can be nominated by their own team or the partner who delivers their solution.
  • Partner category – celebrating great offerings that enable customer outcomes.  Partner solutions are self-nominated, but partners must also nominate a customer for the customer award.
  • Platform category – celebrating great technologies that enable others to deliver solutions or achieve outcomes (e.g. software vendors that serve MSPs, hardware vendors with disruptive capabilities, etc.). Platform solutions are self-nominated, but they should also nominate a partner or customer that uses their offering.

CLICK HERE to submit your nomination materials for your own organization or your customers’ or partners’ from now thru February 15th 2024 – don’t wait and good luck!
