About the WatersTechnology Awards
WatersTechnology runs seven awards programs annually, starting with the Women in Technology & Data Awards, held on or around International Women’s Day in March, and culminating with the American Financial Technology Awards, held in the first week of December. All awards are online only and are free to enter for all firms regardless of their location, although entrants should be aware that these awards focus on the data, technologies and services used by capital markets participants (investments banks, asset managers, hedge funds, exchanges, etc.) and not the retail sector. Firms may enter as many categories as they wish, on the condition that the technology or service they are entering is appropriate for the category they have selected.
