Black Berry Women Technology Awards 2008
With its women technology awards Black Berry celebrates for the third time the achievements of women using technology, both within and beyond the IT sector, to bring their outstanding contributions to business and beyond via the use of technology into the public eye. The awards look to honour the individual (or company) that has achieved success and competitive advantage through innovation, management and return on investment via technology. Black Berry wants to profile and celebrate outstanding women who are playing a central part and who are an inspiration to many other women. Charmaine Eggberry, VP and Managing Director EMEA at RIM (the makers of Black Berry), states: ”I believe there are many modern muses in the technology sector today that can inspire a new generation of women who may be considering a career in technology.”
On May 8, 2008 successful women will be awarded in 8 categories, such as “Best Use of Technology by a Woman within the Corporate Sector”, “Best Use of Technology by Under 30 Year Old Woman”, “Best Female Mentor”, or “Best Woman in Technology (Public Sector and Academia)”. The award evening will honour the achievements of women and showcase their inspirational stories.
