The everywoman in Technology Awards seek to recognise and celebrate the success of women working in this fast-growth sector, encouraging more women into the industry and ultimately providing a pipeline of talent and future industry leaders.
This Awards programme, which will culminate in a glittering awards ceremony on 29 March 2012 at The Savoy, was created to showcase the diverse range of careers technology offers, profiling the women leading these exciting careers and also celebrating the businesses that are investing in their female talent.
