Eine She Means Business Initiative von IMEX und tw magazine in Co-Kreation von Women in Exhibitions International & Women in Exhibitions DACH

12:35 – 13:25 Canyon Room, Inspiration Hub, Hall 9

Description
The exhibitions and events sector faces significant challenges in advancing diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), and in promoting female leadership. Protectionist policies and restrictive migration laws can hinder DEI, while demographic shifts can add further strain. And the rise of the gig economy, though offering flexibility, often leaves women in precarious roles with limited career progression opportunities. Initial industry research by Women in Exhibitions (WiE), in partnership with Clarasys, highlights systemic barriers to women’s career advancement.

Learning Outcomes
Increase your awareness of the DEI challenges facing the exhibitions and events industry
Gain insights from WiE industry research
