The Telecoms and Technology Events business, which consists of Capacity Media, BroadGroup, International Telecoms Week (ITW) and TowerXchange, has announced the successful acquisition of Ascend Global Media (AGM) earlier this week.
AGM runs the market-leading Women in Tech World Series of events, bringing together impressive speaker panels with C-suite speakers from blue chip companies across the technology and enterprise sector including Apple, Shell, HSBC and JP Morgan.
Ascend Global Media runs the Women in Tech World Series of events, of which the two largest are Women of Silicon Roundabout with around 4,500 attendees which takes place in London next week, and an event in Amsterdam in June with around 3,500 attendees called Women in Tech, Europe. The business also runs three, smaller Women in Tech events in the USA.
The events bring together impressive speaker panels with C-suite speakers from blue chip companies across the technology and enterprise sectors. Companies sponsoring, exhibiting, and speaking at the event in London next week include Apple, Shell, HSBC and JP Morgan.
Ros Irving, CEO of Telecoms and Technology Events said, “With the ongoing focus we have on championing gender diversity across the telecoms and technology suite of events and with the work of our Global Leaders’ Forum, the Ascend events will be a great fit for our group as we help the Ascend team grow their portfolio and our existing customers are able to participate in the Women in Tech World Series”.
We are delighted to welcome Michaela Jeffery Morrison, the Co-Founder of the Women in World Series events, and her talented team. We are excited to be working with them to help develop the Women in Tech World Series further.
