Women in Tech Excellence Awards 2022 | Incisive Media | 29 April 2022 | TBA

The Women in Tech Excellence Awards is designed to help move us as an industry towards a solution, by recognising and promoting the many talented women, and other success stories. There are places in IT for women, and this industry can lead to rewarding, fulfilling careers for everyone.

These awards are in their sixth year and have already celebrated the achievements of over 1,200 women, in front of over 2,000 people.
