About

Founded in 2015 by Vickie Allen-Collier, the DevelopHER awards aims to raise the profile of women in technology in East Anglia, creating role models to inspire the next generation to become developers, technicians, project managers, testers and digital experts. If you and your company would like to get involved we'd love to hear from you. You can nominate a woman working in tech, sponsor a package, attend the event or volunteer and get involved.
