The Ninth Annual Legacy Awards Networking Reception Will Honor Six 2018 Legacy Award Recipients at CES

Women in Consumer Technology, an organization that promotes the advancement of women in the consumer technology industry, has named six recipients of its 2018 Legacy Awards.

The award honors exceptional women who are transforming the consumer technology industry through leadership in the retail, sales and marketing, integration, publishing, and trade association segments.
