#GALSNGEAR, in partnership with the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB), will host the Emerging Leaders Women’s Career Accelerator programme at NAB Show 2021 in Las Vegas, USA.
The one-day programme – which will take place on 12 October and include multiple networking opportunities and two leadership workshops – aims to support women in media, entertainment and technology.
“We’re excited to partner with NAB to bring our Women’s Career Accelerator to NAB Show, empowering emerging leaders to advance their careers in screen media,” said Amy DeLouise, founder of #GALSNGEAR.
The organisation works to ensure women in media technology gain visibility at industry events, access to the latest technology and high-level networking and educational opportunities.
The first leadership workshop – ‘Elevate your leadership effectiveness’ – will feature a personalised leadership assessment and breakout sessions to help participants identify their natural leadership style, strengths, challenges and priorities. The second workshop – ‘Propel your leadership brand’ – will explore how to deliver a personal leadership brand in-person and across digital channels.
“#GALSNGEAR educational and networking events at NAB Show have consistently supported and amplified women in media, entertainment and technology,” said April Carty-Sipp, executive vice president of industry affairs at NAB. “The #GALSNGEAR Career Accelerator brings together a new generation of leaders gaining valuable professional skills to advance in their chosen careers. I’m even more thrilled to participate in the programme this year and do my part to help empower and encourage women in this business.”
