WiTWA Conference and Awards: a recap

IAA proudly joined the annual WiTWA Tech [+] Conference as silver sponsors this year. We passionately support Women in Technology WA’s mission to increase gender diversity, equity and inclusion in technology-related fields, as it aligns with our objectives too.  

Held in Perth this month, the one-day conference played host to a variety of exceptional speakers; their speeches underpinned by the same motive: to drive sustainable change in the tech community. We had a booth at the conference, where the IAA team promoted our own efforts in encouraging and supporting women. The centrepiece of our advocacy work in this area is the IAASysters program. We launched it in 2021 after wanting to do something about the low participation rates of certain sectors in the Internet industry.  

The glamorous WiTWA Tech [+] Awards followed the next evening, and several of IAA’s Perth-based team had the privilege of attending this event also. It was a memorable night for Lisa, Fatima, Sabrina, Kitty and Jemma, who had a great time celebrating the inspiring women making an incredibly important impact in tech.
