We received so many amazing nominations for talented women from across the globe again this year, said Rise founder, Sadie Groom. We have seen an extraordinary calibre of talent across the broadcast media technology industry, and our judging panels had a difficult job deciding on the shortlist which is a testament to the incredible female talent we have in our sectors.
