WOMEN IN EVENTS RESEARCH SURVEY |
|
Research has shown strong evidence of the under-representation of women in leadership positions across industries and borders, and despite the outsized role women play in the events space, according to researchers at High Point University and the University of South Florida, there is a gender equity and leadership gap that needs further exploration.
Please take a moment to share your thoughts and experience.

Survey participants will be placed in a drawing to win one free IFEA Webinar On-Demand from 2020. |
