On October 10th, Dublin Tech Summit hosted the second annual Women in Tech awards at the RDS Dublin. The Women in Tech awards highlight the importance of diversity in the workplace, focus on narrowing the gender gap and also recognise the achievements of women working to drive IT excellence, innovation, leadership and success in the tech industry. This year the audience consisted of over 400 high-level execs, VIP’s & government officials. The event contained 14 different categories and 2 special recognition awards including the Female Entrepreneur of the Year Award.
