Mujeres a Seguir is organising this day, second installment of the series Conversations for Equality, which will focus on Women and Technology. An event that vindicates women in the STEM field from different points of view with the aim of building a future that represents us.
23% of women in the technology industry is not nearly enough. Increasing the presence of women in this environment will be vital for women to have a voice in a future that is already being written.
2. Last extension of the Gerety Awards deadline for entries
The Gerety Awards announces the latest extension of the deadline for entries until Friday May 13th. The shortlist will be announced in mid-June, followed by the Jury Insight Panels.
As every year, the panel discussions will be held with partners from the international trade press, and will feature some of the juries from each country to discuss their favourite campaigns. The shortlist finalists and the trends discussed will mark one of the milestones of the advertising industry at festivals this year.
Since its inception, Gerety has included hundreds of creative industry leaders in its juries held around the world. This year is no exception with a brand new jury that includes 180 members from 35 different countries. Campaigns that have been rewarded at other major creative festivals have also triumphed at Gerety but with one very important difference, winning at Gerety means that the work connects with the female audience.
This year’s executive jury venues are Sao Paulo, Mexico City, London, New York, Copenhagen, Brussels, Vienna, Manila and Tokyo.
In addition to choosing the shortlist, each executive jury will select the agency and producer of the year for their respective country. To participate in the Portfolio CUT, a reel of no more than 5 minutes with up to 3 campaigns produced in the last year must be submitted.
The final deadline for entries is May 13th . To participate, all the information is available on the website www.geretyawards.com
