They work actively as mentors; sharing experiences in peer groups; advising in schools and publishing content to inspire women at all stages of their careers. The search is on for the next ‘Twenty’ and, as such, we are incredibly excited to have opened nominations for Series 7. Nominate yourself or your role models below!

Why nominate?

It is no secret that having positive role models increases one’s potential. If you have been fortunate enough to meet an inspirational woman, nominating her for the Twenty in Data & Tech could give her the recognition that she deserves, whilst providing other women the opportunity to feel as inspired as you have. This could be someone that taught you at university, perhaps you worked with them, or even have never met, but their work has given you motivation and empowerment. That person could even be you!

Each Twenty in Data & Tech awardee will be photographed by the exceptionally talented and multi-award-winning, Sane Seven – https://www.saneseven.com/. We have worked with Sane Seven for each series to date; their portraits and professionalism are second to none.

Awardees will be revealed to the public at our in-person Flagship event, set to take place in 2025, where they will be invited to the stage. Thereafter, information about the Twenty in Data & Tech, Series 7 will be hosted on the Women in Data® website and in numerous media articles. The accolade has been life-changing for many previous awardees, with the award opening up doorways to promotions, speaking opportunities, greater exposure and media celebration of their achievements.
