Launch of 12 new Diversity events across 2018 and 2019

Vitesse Media (AIM: VIS), the B2B information and events business, is delighted to announce that following a thorough review, and in collaboration with its partners, it has decided to accelerate the development of its Diversity events series.

Vitesse intends to deliver several new, ongoing campaigns globally to further address the gender imbalance in a number of industries. This will see 12 events launched in relation to diversity and the 'Women In' series, as well as a number of new events across other sectors. In addition to existing events in the UK and USA, the diversity campaigns will include additional events in Europe and Asia.

Alongside the launch of new awards, the Company will accelerate the development of its careers fairs and conferences as adjacent events. Vitesse intends to launch its own 'diversity website' that will provide a hub for information on all of the existing and new diversity activities, as well as conducting research and studies into diversity issues.

This decision follows the successful launch of the 'Women in IT USA' awards event, which took place on 22 March 2018 in New York, as well as the continued growth of the UK-based Diversity event series.

The inaugural Women in IT Awards USA saw 550 business and technology leaders gathered together at New York's Gotham Hall to showcase the achievements and innovation of women in technology. The Women in IT Awards is an important part of Vitesse Media's Diversity events series which also includes Women in Finance, Future stars of Technology and Tomorrow's Tech Leaders Today. The awards have been running in the UK for four years and the most recent event, held in London in January 2018, attracted 1,150 guests.

Simon Stilwell, Chief Executive of Vitesse, said:

"We are delighted that the Women in IT Awards continues to grow in size and influence and is now a real representation of how important inclusion is in the technology industry. Businesses worldwide, alongside a raft of influential partners, are increasingly recognising the issue of gender diversity and committing to making real change.

"Our resolve to help tackle this issue is strong and we are excited to be accelerating the development of the Diversity events programme over the next two years. I am confident that this move will be highly beneficial for the Group and all its stakeholders and I look forward to seeing Vitesse-run Diversity campaigns implemented globally by 2020."
