The closing date for entries to the Northern eCommerce Awards, in association with UKFast, has been extended to Friday, July 14th.
Delivered by Don’t Panic Events and Prolific North, the NECAs will once again celebrate the very best in ecommerce from across the North.
Last year’s hugely successful inaugural event attracted over 300 people – and we have already received dozens of entries for this year.
The 2017 NECAs will take place on Wednesday October 11th at a new venue, Manchester Cathedral.
And entries are now open across 23 categories celebrating exceptional websites, platforms, suppliers, in house teams and agencies.
