CRN Women in Channel Awards 2022 | Incisive Media | The Brewery, 52 Chiswell St, London EC1Y 4SA, UK

Now in their 4th year these special awards aim to celebrate and recognise women from all areas and levels in the channel; from graduate newcomers to top leaders and entrepreneurs.

The challenge of increasing diversity in tech is now firmly on the agenda across the UK, but it is far from a solved problem. Women are still well under-represented across the industry. We feel that shouting about the accomplishments of women in the channel - not because they are women, but because their accomplishments are worth shouting about - can play an important role in tackling diversity in the channel.

The Women in Channel Awards always bring great stories to the fore. Over the past year many women have faced a unique and unforeseen set of challenges. Working from home, balancing work and home/family life, while continuing to make top class contributions to their businesses.
