More than 330 attendees honoured female excellence across the New Zealand IT industry on Wednesday 2 October at the Cordis in Auckland.
All career stages were in the spotlight from graduate-level entrants to well-established CEOs, in addition to inspiring entrepreneurs, creative thinkers and technical experts, as well as talent rising through the ranks and consistent high-performing individuals.
This was also supported by individual champions of DE&I initiatives.
Now in its eighth year, WIICTA is the leading forum for setting the industry benchmark for female achievement across New Zealand, honouring the channel across eight categories, spanning DE&I, Innovation, Technical, Entrepreneur, Graduate, Rising Star, Shining Star and Achievement.
