How Women Are Taking The Events Industry By Storm

Within recent years gender imbalance has been improving, helping women dominate the events industry and pave the way for other women. By demonstrating resilience, creativity and leadership women have climbed their way to the top, with more than 80% of the event workforce in 2021 being comprised of women and the number of women leading event management companies in the last three years rising to 40%! To summarise, women truly have achieved a lot in the events industry and in celebration of International Women’s Day we’ve decided to recognise all the great things women have done in this blog.
