      Women in Technology: Current Status and Future

      Original Airdate: 
      27 Feb 2019 3:00pm EST

      In the last few years, many trade shows, industrial and scientific events worldwide have incorporated a WiT session.
      In this webcast we'll focus on addressing these key issues:

      • Why WiT activities are becoming more important in the high tech industry;
      • How does the display industry do in terms of diversity;
      • What is next for the display industry and how can women contribute to its success.

      We will also briefly introduce our SID Display Week 2019 panelists and the theme of the panel.

      SID Webcasts are presented by the Society of Information Display and are FREE and open to all!
