Rise, the gender diversity network for the media technology industry, today announced the shortlist for the Rise Awards, which will take place on Tuesday November 19th. Now in its sixth year the highly sought after awards, in partnership with Sky and EMG/Gravity Media, will celebrate a talented group of women, men and companies, at the event at Troxy, London. The shortlist includes women from Malaysia, United States, Canada, Norway and Australia.
The winner of the Woman of The Year Award, decided by the Rise Advisory Boards, will be announced at a later date. As in past years a Special Recognition Award will be announced on the evening and given to a woman who has surpassed expectations or their commitment to the industry we work in.
