NOWIE

THE NETWORK OF women in eventS

Would you like to see women better represented across the events industry? Us too!

There are thousands of women working hard at events and yet, as with many other industries, the faces we see at awards shows, on panels and in the media remain overwhelmingly male. 

WE ARE DRIVING CHANGE IN THE INDUSTRY !

OUR MAIN PILLARS

Networking

Our networks make us stronger. NOWIE works to facilitate opportunities, both online and in reality, to meet other women working in the industry. Relationships forged through NOWIE have already led to myriad job offers (both freelance and permanent), mentoring relationships, friendships and better sharing of best practices all around.

Job opportunities

We want to see more women in the top jobs within the industry and so we are committed to highlighting opportunities at all levels for women to further their careers. NOWIE can help women find great new roles and can also help employers market their vacancies to a significant database of experienced professionals.

Increasing representation

We’ve all rolled our eyes when we’ve seen lists of male names as award nominees, presenters and panel participants. The women in this industry have so much to say and to offer and NOWIE is committed to putting more women in the spotlight so that, as a group, we get the recognition that we deserve.
