Our objective is to accelerate the careers of women in the exhibition industry by providing:
Our mission
The Women in Exhibitions mission is to inspire, empower and prepare women for leadership positions in the events and exhibitions sector, by supporting at every stage of their career journey. To support organisations and the sector at large to create the conditions for women to thrive in the workplace.
Our vision
The vision is for everyone – from entry level roles up – to feel empowered, confident and supported to aim for leadership positions in the event and exhibitions sector.
Women makeup the majority of the UK's event and exhibitions workforce – estimated a around 80 per cent in entry level positions. Yet, women hold approximately just 20 per cent of board positions.
The UK chapter of Women in Exhibitions aims to promote fairness, equity, and diversity in the industry by preparing women for leadership roles through upskilling, networking, mentoring and support.
By increasing gender diversity in leadership, research tells us that the sector will benefit from a more diverse pool of perspectives, skills, and experiences – this will be better for society, our audiences and for business.
By 2026, the goal is for at least 35 per cent* of seats on boards to be filled by women. * A stretch goal based on the UK’s percentage of board seats held by women, according to Women in the boardroom a Global perspective, Deloitte, February 2022.
