WOMEN_LEADING_TECH_

The Women Leading Tech Awards, presented by Atlassian is back for 2024! These awards are the first industry event that matters and, this year, they’re bigger and better than ever. We have a brand new Customer Success category and a host of new partners and entrants.

 

The Women Leading Tech Awards celebrate the women who drive innovations, create change, smash glass ceilings and forge bold new paths for everyone to follow.

 

The Awards also recognise the contributions of everyone in the sector – from new faces with the Rising Star trophy to established leading lights with the Executive Leader and Woman of the Year trophies. The Awards also recognise those women who make an impact beyond their companies with the Champion of Change, Sustainability Crusader, Mentor and Social Impact Advocate.

 

As an initiative created to support gender parity and representation across the tech industry, the Women Leading Tech Awards are an event inclusive of non-binary and gender diverse members of the tech industry, as well as any individual identifying as a woman.
