Join us in recognizing the outstanding achievements of Members of The Open Group at:

The Open Group Awards                   

The Open Group Awards are a peer-to-peer recognition of the members, teams and individuals who have made outstanding contributions to industry innovation through the development of open standards and architectural best practices. Help show appreciation for this work and reward the excellence and dedication of your peers by nominating their contributions for The Open Group Awards. 

Nominations were submitted from February 1st to March 5th, 2018 and voting took place during March. The winners will be announced at our prestigious awards ceremony in London on Tuesday, April 17th, 2018.

Dress code for the evening is black tie (tux or dark suit and tie for men; dressy outfit for women).

Why Nominate a Peer or Member Company?

The Open Group is a member-based, consensus-driven organization. We would not be able to accomplish the work that we do or create the standards that are helping to drive the technology industry without working together to achieve The Open Group’s vision of open standards achieved through Boundaryless Information Flow™. Each of us knows peers within our standards ecosystem—member companies, individuals—who have contributed their work, time and dedication, above and beyond their day jobs, to achieve these goals. Nominating a peer for The Open Group Awards recognizes these achievements and shows appreciation for their efforts.
