Applicants are required to submit images (photographs, scanned copies of original artwork or digital media pieces) of themselves, their colleagues at work, or the environment in which they work, in ways that best reflect this year’s Conference theme: 75 Years and Beyond: Delivering Excellence & Innovation in a Changing Technical Landscape. 

The images should highlight/showcase the work done by the technical workforce and it’s importance in making things happen within the workplace and the wider community.

Prizes, which include vouchers of the winners choice worth £150 (x1 winner) and £50 (x2 runners up), will be awarded at this years IST Technical Conference to be held at London South Bank University, on 13th September.

Attendees at the one-day in-person Conference will be treated to engaging talks from our Keynote Speakers. There will be campus tours throughout the day, a choice of at least 15 group workshops/discussions, tech showcases, a career zone, and plenty of opportunities to network.
