AVIXA's Diversity Council is hosting an event focused on diversity and inclusion in the professional audiovisual industry. The event will be held at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City on Thurs., Oct. 24 from 6 - 8:30 p.m.
"Following the success of the council's reception at the InfoComm Show in 2019, this event is about making connections and coming together as an AV community to further the council's mission of creating a diverse and inclusive future workforce that better represents the society in which we live," said a representative of AVIXA.
