By recognizing women IT entrepreneurs, the NCWIT Symons Innovator Award hopes to inspire others to pursue IT entrepreneurship, and increase awareness about the importance of women’s participation in IT innovation and business.
Guests will enjoy live music by the Sarah Billings Band, decadent treats and fine cocktails by Food in Bloom, high level networking with the area's industry leaders, a short program including Award presentation, and a ride on Portland’s famous aerial tram to see a night view of the city.

About the National Center for Women & Information Technology
The NCWIT Entrepreneurial Alliance (EA) brings together representatives from more than 20 established entrepreneurial organizations that understand the factors associated with entrepreneurial success. The EA’s work addresses the causes and possible interventions concerning the small number of women involved in starting businesses, filing patents, and transferring technology in the IT field as its member organizations work to increase women’s representation.
The NCWIT Symons Innovator award art was created with Wordle (www.wordle.net), a Java-based web application that creates word clouds.
