TECHXNY, will feature special events and conference programs, revolving around the 19th annual PC EXPO, which will be held June 26-28, at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City. "What an exciting opportunity to honor women who are rising stars in the IT world," says Christina Condos, Show Director of PC EXPO. "These industry leaders are playing a crucial role in today's evolving technological and scientific development, and we are pleased that PC EXPO will showcase this special awards ceremony." "Working Woman celebrates and promotes the great strides women are making in the business world. Because the W.E.S.T. Awards specifically recognize women's achievements in the technology and business worlds, PC EXPO is the ideal place to debut them. We're delighted to be participating both in the heart of New York City and with a hub of the IT industry," says Kay Koplovitz, CEO, Working Woman Network, publishers of Working Woman. The W.E.S.T. Awards will be presented at an on-site cocktail reception at PC EXPO, honoring five exceptional women in technology who have distinguished themselves in a "new" industry because of their commitment to education, perseverance, sacrifice and hard work. They achieved unique success while working their way to executive positions in top companies leading the technological industry. As a tribute to the roads the W.E.S.T. Awards recipients have blazed for the next generation, Working Woman will sponsor a "TechBlazer" Scholarship that will be awarded to the top female science student at each award recipient's high school alma mater. By highlighting the winners' accomplishments and supporting scholarships, women in the IT world will achieve greater professional recognition for their work and innovations.
