This March there has been an outpouring of positivity from the world of AV to celebrate the contributions and achievements of women, inspiring inclusion and encouraging positive change.
The AV User Group hosted a networking evening on March 13, in London, and invited the AVIXA Women’s Council UK members and women employees of AV User Group sponsor companies to attend. The event was tied to the celebration of International Women’s Day on March 8.
For the last two years, the AV User Group has supported this initiative, and women’s attendance has doubled since 2023. ISE 2024 visitor analysis also showed a doubling of the number of women attending in the last two years.
“This shows we are doing more things right, and the journey is ongoing. Any minority group has to work harder to be seen and appreciated, that’s just the way of the world, but it’s great to see some change,” said Iffat Chaudhry, senior bid manager, Involve, and co-leader, AVIXA Women’s Council UK.
The AVIXA Women’s Council UK organise regular virtual and in-person events throughout the year. The next event, ‘Building Strong foundations for Career and Life’, takes place on May 8, 2024, 3pm-7.30pm, at Spaces at The Spine, Liverpool.
The event, which is free to attend and open to everyone, will delve into the secrets of building strong foundations for career and life success. It will feature a workshop, led by Ryan Mulhern, on interactive video skills; a keynote presentation delivered by personal leadership expert Mark Tonks; and a panel discussion featuring leading AV voices, including Angela Townsend, Adele Thornton and Iffat Chaudhry.
