Women in IT Awards Sign Up Information

Dear Jon,
 

After an eventful award ceremony in London last week, Information Age and Bonhill Group are excited to bring you the inaugural Women in IT Summit London, which will be arriving this summer! 

Britain’s technology sector has a worrying lack of diversity among its senior leadership; just 8.5% are from a minority background while women make up only 12.6% of board members in the sector.  

As we continue our mission to change such statistics and create a more diverse workplace, we will address the top challenges highlighted by IT professionals, our awards winners and our nominees.  

This exciting one-day conference, taking place on 30th June 2020 at ETC Venues County Hall, will bring together a community of innovators, forward thinkers and tech professionals to gain first-hand insight on what the future holds for the industry.  

The summit agenda is filled with informative and engaging content that will help to propel your career and organisation like never before – will you be there?  

A few topics to be discussed: 

• Driving business and global change 
  - Using RPA technology to avoid repetition in your business 
  - The power of IT to change business and the world 

• Recruitment and retention  
  - The lack of diversity in tech goes beyond gender 
  - Attracting the right talent and offering everyone an equal, unbiased opportunity
   
• Where do we find talent? 
  - Securing our future STEM talent – this is your moment to give back 

With only a limited time remaining, secure your Summit Early Bird ticket now by contacting Abhay Singh on  abhay.singh@bonhillplc.com, or alternatively,  call +44 (0) 20 7250 7056. 

I hope you will be able to join us as we consider the actions needed to transform workplace cultures and explore the positive impacts of an ever evolving tech world. 

I look forward to welcoming you.

Dear Jon,

I am pleased to invite you to submit a nomination for the 2020 Women in IT Awards Europe. 

Berlin, one of Europe’s tech hubs is the perfect city to host our European series; according to the German Economic Institute, there are around 500, 000 STEM jobs waiting to be filled. There is a lack of qualified IT candidates and women, in particular, are not seeking to become part of this industry.

This results in a huge, untapped pool of possible talent who can be encouraged to join the technology sector; so what are we waiting for?

The Women in IT Awards provide the perfect platform to showcase examples of successful female talent in the tech space, highlighting the opportunities available and inspiring diverse talent across the region.

You can nominate yourself, or a deserving colleague, friend or peer across any of the 18 categories. Remember, nominations are free and you can submit multiple entries.

If you need more information or have any queries, please don''t hesitate to email us.

The awards, now in their third year, will shine a light on the amazing individuals and organizations that are not only breaking digital boundaries but promoting the importance of diversity in the workplace and pushing for a more inclusive tech sector.

The winners will be announced in a virtual ceremony, hosted in partnership with AWS, on October 29, 2020.

Dear Jon,

There are now just three weeks to go until we host the third annual Women in IT Summit & Awards New York! 

Did you know: Just 26% of professional computing jobs in the US were held by women in 2018 and only 9% by BAME women; moving to senior and executive levels, the statistics we see are even lower.

In light of this, the Summit and Awards series seeks to tackle the industry’s gender imbalance by showcasing the achievements of women in technology, identifying new role models and promoting a constructive dialogue around diversity among key industry leaders.

The 2020 Women in IT Summit agenda is filled with informative and engaging content and together with some powerhouse industry professionals we will explore the latest technical hot topics and the workplace diversity conversations; providing you with actionable solutions to propel your career and organization like never before.

Following the summit, the Women in IT Awards will shine a light on the remarkable female tech talent in the sector, awarding high-achievers, advocates and role models across 20 categories including; CTO of the Year, Rising Star of the Year, Diversity Initiative of the Year and Woman of the Year.

Moving beyond gender, the poor representation of diverse talent in tech continues  – in 2018 just 5% of participants in AP Computer Science were Black or African American students – including women and men (Education Dive, 2018), with just 3% of the computing workforce made up by African-American women, and 2% by Hispanic women (Department of Labour Bureau of Labour Statistics, 2018). 

The Women in IT Virtual Summit will facilitate knowledge sharing, education & networking that will focus on CHANGING the statistics around diversity and inclusion in the workplace, tech space and society. 

Sessions will cover a variety of topics with four dedicated content streams running throughout the day: 

Morning Webinar:

• Stream 1 - The Challenges of a New Decade 
• Stream 2 - Ethical Tech for the Future

Afternoon Webinar: 

• Stream 1 - From School to Boardroom
• Stream 2 - Professionally Developing 101
   

Speakers Include:
 

This global gathering of your colleagues and peers promises to be an event you will not want to miss!

I look forward to meeting you there.

Due to the on-going global pandemic, we’ve all faced unexpected changes and have had to adapt to new normalities.

If you would like to be notified when nominations re-open for next year, you can register your interest here.

We wouldn’t want you to miss out on the Women in IT experience however and we are pleased to announce that we will be holding the Women in IT Summit Ireland virtually on 17th November 2020!

Dear Jon,

There is just one week to go until the Women in IT Virtual Summit where we will be joined by over 25 expert speakers, sharing case studies and valuable insight into how they have rapidly adapted management styles, team dynamics and key technologies in order to navigate the Covid-19 pandemic. 

This global gathering of your colleagues and peers promises to be an event you will not want to miss - view the agenda and register your FREE place here.

The extensive research into the boards of the UK''s elite companies highlights that while progress is being made in terms of D&I at the highest level, considerably more can and needs to be done to enhance the career progression of women, BAME and other underrepresented groups. 

The report offers key recommendations to help companies fully embrace workplace inclusion - you can access your copy of the report here. 

Join us at the virtual summit next week to hear more from DiversityQ Editor, Cheryl Cole as she takes a closer look at diversity and inclusion within the tech industry.  

I look forward to seeing you there!

Dear Jon,

There is now just one month to go until we host the third annual Women in IT Summit & Awards New York! 

Did you know: Just 26% of professional computing jobs in the US were held by women in 2018 and only 9% by BAME women; moving to senior and executive levels, the statistics we see are even lower.

In light of this, the Summit and Awards series seeks to tackle the industry’s gender imbalance by showcasing the achievements of women in technology, identifying new role models and promoting a constructive dialogue around diversity among key industry leaders.

The 2020 Women in IT Summit agenda is filled with informative and engaging content and together with some powerhouse industry professionals we will explore the latest technical hot topics and the workplace diversity conversations; providing you with actionable solutions to propel your career and organization like never before.

Following the summit, the Women in IT Awards will shine a light on the remarkable female tech talent in the sector, awarding high-achievers, advocates and role models across 20 categories including; CTO of the Year, Rising Star of the Year, Diversity Initiative of the Year and Woman of the Year. 

View the 2020 Women in IT Awards Shortlist

The winners will be announced on March 25th 2020 at a lavish ceremony, complete with a champagne reception and three-course gala dinner, at the Grand Hyatt Hotel. 

We can’t wait to learn, collaborate and celebrate together, tackling some of the glaring challenges facing the technology world in 2020. 

I look forward to welcoming you in March.
