Celebrate women in tech!

RightBrains and Computable invite you to nominate female talent and leaders who have made their mark in digital technology. The purpose of the awards is to share inspiring role model stories and best practices. The Digital Leadership & Diversity award goes to those leaders of organisations who don't only talk about bringing more gender balance in digital technology but have proven actions to success. The Digital Talent award goes to someone at the start of their career who is an example for the next generation of female digital talents. Female role models are essential for attracting and retaining more women in this field.
