The Women In IT Awards series pursues its mission for a more inclusive future and is launching Women In IT Canada in 2019: the astounding success of the London edition, the growing community of attendees gathering at the sister events in Dublin, New York, Singapore and the Silicon Valley prove that reckoning is on the making.
Canada has a long story as a diverse society. Initiatives like the Feminist Government Team running the Canada Beyond 150 program unveil the issues both government and society will have to respond.
