Event description

Welcome to the 2024 Tech [+] Awards where we are looking for the brightest stars of the WA Tech [+] community to be represented!

We know writing an award nomination can be nerve wracking. Whether you find it challenging to talk about your achievements, or are nominating someone else and want to get it just right, our award nomination writing workshop is a great place to start.

This session features special guest facilitators and past winners who will share their own experience and learnings to help you:

🎓 Cover off the basics: it’s Tech [+] Awards 101 and a chance to dig into the Award categories, eligibility criteria and nomination rules.

🔍 Find your hook: discover the elements to telling your story and making sure you don’t miss any good bits!

💪 Defeat imposter syndrome: gain confidence in your abilities and learn to embrace your achievements.

📝 Improve your writing: get recommendations on setting up a good structure, making your submission more concise, and removing gobbledygook (an official term).

⏰ Meet the deadline: learn effective strategies to organise your thoughts and write efficiently, ensuring you submit a polished, compelling entry on time.

We hold the Awards program each year to shine a light on the stories of incredible local women in Tech [+] roles so let us help you find your voice to get your story out there. Together, we can inspire each other, celebrate our successes, and conquer any writing challenges along the way!

WiTWA is a Perth-based, not for profit organisation providing a framework for women in tech [+] to extend their networks and expand their knowledge on a broad range of professional topics. We encourage open conversation and inspire deliberation and debate. WiTWA wants to see more women in tech [+] roles and organisations in WA, and to progress those already in these careers as we achieve greater parity and equality. This is how we help make it happen: Encouraging young people to study STEM subjects through our Techtrails program, showing Year 9 and 10 students the diverse and varied jobs for all genders in tech [+] careers. We want to retain the women already in tech [+] careers. We do this by helping them connect with fellow supporters and providing networking and development opportunities through our suite of events: TechXChanges, Boardroom Series and our newly minted one-day conference, WiTWA [+]. Our supporters span across gender, industry and age and are committed to introducing women and young people to exciting and meaningful careers in tech, science and innovation. We want to champion tech [+] as viable, future focused and stimulating professions for young people to consider; and we want to support them in that pursuit – all while raising the status of women in Australian business and in all tech [+] industries.
