Women in Tech Excellence Awards 2022

Who won one of these most keenly contested and coveted industry awards?

The Computing Women in Tech Excellence Awards were held last night in the heart of the City. Over 700 attendees gathered to celebrate some truly inspirational, hardworking and frankly brilliantly dressed women, and all that they have achieved in the technology realm.

The awards were a great opportunity to catch up with familiar faces and to meet in person those we'd often only previously seen on a laptop screen. New friends were made and those all important networks boosted as the band entertained everyone at the after party.

This years' awards attracted more entrants than ever before, and the winners and those with highly commended entries had to work harder than ever to stand out from a very impressive field. 30 awards were won overall and all sorts of organisations were represented from enterprise technology to start-ups and SMEs, integrators and finance through to the NHS.
