First ever Women in IT Forum celebrates the changing nature of IT

The Women in IT Forum covers diversity, education, thought leadership and sexism

The IT industry attracts its fair share of criticism for lacking diversity, with many positions filled by men. With that in mind, and following the resounding success of our first Women in IT Awards last year, Computing and its partner CWJobs are proud to present the inaugural Women in IT Forum.

This half-day event will bring together women from across the IT industry, from C-level executives to function managers, developers and testers. It is a chance for you to hear from your peers and discuss the important topics facing you today - both as an IT professional and as a woman.

There will be sessions dedicated to diversity; girls studying STEM subjects in education; sexism in the workplace; and the future of women in tech, as well as thought leadership sessions and inspirational keynotes from some of the most eminent women in the field.

Speakers include Fiona Macaulay, Global Director of IT Delivery at Mars; Wincie Wong, Head of Innovation for Supply Chain Services at the Royal Bank of Scotland; and Bonnie Andrews, Head of Product at CWJobs. Our own Carly Page, editor of Computing's sister site The Inquirer, will chair the event.

We will hold the first ever Women in IT Forum at The Brewery, London on the 4th December. Register now!

Computing's Women in IT Excellence Awards returns, once again, on Tuesday 27th November. It will celebrate the mould-breaking, ceiling-smashing female talent rising up the ranks and shaking up the industry.
