AVIXA Women in AV Collective at ISE 2026

During ISE 2026, the AVIXA Women’s Council hosted its first‑ever Women in AV Collective, bringing women and allies together for intentional connection and conversation within the broader show experience.

The gathering created space to engage beyond the show floor – inviting attendees to exchange perspectives, build relationships, and reflect on the collective impact of women across the AV industry. Centered on community, visibility, and professional support, the event welcomed participants at every career stage.

The event reinforced the AVIXA Women’s Council’s ongoing mission to empower women and allies through education, connection, and advocacy. By convening the community during ISE, AWC continues to foster meaningful engagement that extends well beyond a single moment or event.
