WAVIT, which was created for and by women, provides a much-needed network that supports and empowers women in the AV and IT industries through education, outreach and initiatives. WAVIT’s emphasis on education, mentorship and establishing career pathways for retaining women in the industry and creating new pathways for young women to enter is breaking down barriers to create an inclusive environment that attracts and retains female talent.
