As it is our inaugural Women Leading Tech event, there are a lot of ‘firsts’ for everyone involved.
The first ticket, the first speaker, the first award nominee.
And today, we are pleased to announce another first – the first Women Leading Tech Awards shortlist.
So without further ado, please feast your eyes upon the list.
Congratulations to everyone named and we look forward to seeing you all on April 8.
