Join us for the inaugural Innovation & Inclusion Awards celebration–an unprecedented recognition of the past, present and ongoing achievements of diverse digital media and technology professionals.
The evening will also include a special tribute to author Margot Lee Shetterly and the pioneering African American female mathematicians at NASA who helped to lead the US Race to Space. The story of these unsung heroines will soon be featured in both the upcoming book and motion picture, Hidden Figures.
