The exhibitions and events sector faces significant challenges in advancing diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), and in promoting female leadership. Protectionist policies and restrictive immigration laws can hinder DEI, while demographic shifts can add further strain. And the rise of the gig economy, though offering flexibility, often leaves women in precarious roles with limited career progression opportunities. Initial industry research by Women in Exhibitions (WiE), in partnership with Clarasys, highlights systemic barriers to women’s career advancement.
