Happy International Women in Engineering Day

Today is Happy International Women in Engineering Day (23rd June) so big shout out to all of us in the industry and striving to support our colleagues and other women to make the move into a great industry.

We do have one conference in town this week and the sparkies awards so welcome to …

The Sparkies

This year the awards will be held in the UNESCO world heritage city of Bath, at the Assembly Rooms, on 27 June 2019 and if you’ve been to the SPARKies before you’ll know it’s a great night for digital debauchery, comedy and community with awards for everything from outstanding tech startups to mentors, hardware, virtual reality and more. Good luck to all the nominees and say hi to WTHub Constance Fleuriot if you are there as she is one of the judges!
