The commander of one of Dorset’s biggest tech organisations - #BlandfordCamp - is a woman. And so is her boss. Both are inspiring @womenintech role models. Thanks for hosting Women in Tech Dorset last night.

[Digital Dorset @digitaldorset]

The next Women in Tech Dorset event is being held at Blandford Camp on September 6th. Four leaders in their fields will talk about 'Challenge, Culture and Career' as women in technology. For more info and to book: https://t.co/f9zZ5dTGas #WiTD #DigitalDorset
