2025 marks the 9th Annual Women in Technology Awards, an electrifying testament to the unwavering dedication of the Technology Council of Central Pennsylvania to celebrate women who are innovators, role models, trailblazers and inspirations within the technology community throughout our region. It’s a dynamic tribute to the trailblazing women who ignite innovation, embody role models, and inspire us within the vibrant tech community across our region.
But that’s not all – this spectacular event isn’t just about recognition; it’s also about investing in the future. We’re also awarding scholarships to exceptional female students who are blazing a trail of their own in STEM disciplines at regional colleges and universities. These awards aren’t just accolades; they’re a vote of confidence in the brilliant minds shaping the next generation of tech talent.
And this is just one piece of the puzzle.
