The panel will discuss what companies and the industry are doing to attract women to the industry and asks: Is this enough? How do we educate the next generation of women for non-traditional female roles? And what can those of us already working in this fabulous/exciting do to encourage more women to join us? The event is open to all women and men attending the IBC exhibition.
Panelists currently include: Sadie Groom (MD, Bubble & Squeak), Lesley Johnson (operations director, BBC Worldwide), Laura Thommen (VP enterprise sales, MelroseTec), Carrie Wootten (head of commercial development, Ravensbourne) and Nicki Fisher (sales director EMEA, Clear-Com).
The event will be held from 12.30 to 14.00 on Saturday 13 September in Room D201, on the second floor of the Elysium Suites (Hall 14 where the Sony stand is located.)
David Dowling, EMEA sales director of sponsor Ross Video, comments, "We are very pleased to be supporting this FBI initiative and we feel it's very important for women to have a dedicated forum that can work towards opening up opportunities in the industry."
