NOMINATIONS FOR 2020 ARE NOW OPEN!
LET’S INSPIRE THE NEXT GENERATION
The challenge of increasing diversity in IT is now firmly on the agenda in boardrooms across the UK, but it is far from a solved problem. Women are still under-represented across the industry, especially at higher echelons, and they're also likely to be paid less than their male counterparts for the same work.
The issue extends right through the career, starting in schools where education institutions report little to now growth in the numbers of females taking STEM subjects. More needs to be done to encourage the female IT leaders of tomorrow.
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 females, and other success stories. There are places in IT for females, and this industry can lead to rewarding, fulfilling careers for everyone.
Now in its fifth year, we have taken the decision to rename the awards to bring them closer to our hugely successful Women in Tech Festival, which last year brought hundreds of people together to discuss diversity, celebrate success and network with the best and brightest minds in the industry.
These awards have already celebrated the achievements of over 800 women, in front of over 1,700 people. And we don't just shout about this success at the awards themselves, we also publish videos, galleries and articles from the event on Computing, to ensure that hundreds of thousands of people can see for themselves the talent that's out there.
Nominations are now open until Friday 1 May
