Events Division continues to grow
Vitesse Media plc (AIM: VIS), the AIM-quoted digital media and
events business, is pleased to announce the success of three
influential events that took place across London yesterday, namely;
The Grant Thornton Quoted Company Awards, Women in IT Awards and
the Tomorrow's Tech Leaders Today careers fair. As previously
announced, sales for all three events are expected to be ahead of
budget.
The Grant Thornton Quoted Company Awards:
The Grant Thornton Quoted Company Awards in its 14(th) year was
once again a hugely successful event that celebrated the UK's
smaller quoted companies which make a vital contribution to the UK
economy. Attendance reached 650, up 10 per cent on the prior
year.

Women in IT Awards:
Women in IT Awards saw attendances reach 1,160 which is up 29
per cent compared to the prior year and 169 per cent since the
event's inception four years ago. This event continues to be very
well received and helps to address the vital issues of gender
inequality. The event which was organised by the Group's business
technology magazine, Information Age, has quickly become the
world's largest technology diversity event staged.

Tomorrow's Tech Leaders Today:
As part of the Group's stated strategy, the Tomorrow's Tech
Leaders Today careers fair is one of two female only events that
the Group has launched, aimed at addressing the imbalance of women
in science, technology, engineering and mathematics careers. In its
third year, the event saw upwards of 300 attendees which shows the
importance of tackling the gender inequality issues many face today
in the workplace.

Simon Stilwell, Chief Executive Officer of Vitesse Media,
said:
"We are really pleased with the overwhelming success of these
three events. Our events division continues to show the benefits of
long-term engagement with sponsors and other key partners. Our
leading position on gender diversity will be further strengthened
in March 2018 when we will be launching our first Women in IT
Awards in the USA as well as the Future Stars of Tech in June
2018."
