Join us to hear Steven Woodgate’s - Surface Marketing lead at Microsoft – story, career journey and how as tech continues to evolve it opens up more doors for young people, especially in the communications industry. Steven has both dyslexia and dyspraxia and has found ways to navigate through a successful career despite these challenges that could have held him back. ‘Technology isn’t just about cool gadgets, it’s as much about sociology and psychology and how people use it’.
