Are women welcome in ProAV? Our natural answer is to say, “yes, of course!” But the data still doesn’t quite suggest an equitable playing field. The bottom line: Women are deeply underrepresented in ProAV. Check out the rest of the stats in this report from AVIXA and join us for a LAVNCH & LEARN Dec. 15 to learn more! After all, the point of this report is to spark a conversation. So let’s talk about it!

For our other featured column this time, you might be asking: “Steph, why would you tell us to come to DSE?” Here’s your answer: Because LDI, a show all about the live event industry, will be at the Las Vegas Convention Center at the same time! I know I can’t wait to see the latest digital signage AND live events tech all in one place. So come on over to Las Vegas and check out both shows while you’re there!

See you soon!

+ ProAV: Are Women Fully Welcome? [Peter Hansen & Joé Lloyd]

As our data shows, women have not necessarily found their forever home in this industry. With underrepresentation at the forefront, possible bias and a deficit in advancement may be the consequence. Everyone deserves to feel welcomed, a level playing field and the opportunity for progress that is not yet equally available to all.
