The first awards held in person took place in 2022 and allowed guests to come together to network and celebrate.
It was fantastic, to see what other individuals and companies are achieving in the STEM sector and to be able to celebrate it all together. And as someone who has only worked in one STEM company, it was interesting to see what other companies are achieving and what type of other work is happening in Wales. (Attendee in 2022).
And this year, the second in person but third awards took place with guests already looking forwards to 2024!
We really enjoyed the awards and hope to be able to take part again next year. (Attendee in 2023).
