UTAS is running a Women in Technology event for the sixth year running.

This year it is being held in Launceston for the first time.

It will continue in the updated format from 2021 with more interactive workshop style program. As a result, there will be more of a focus on educating the audience on ‘how to’ enter ICT related fields.
