#GalsNGear amplifies and supports women in the technical fields of film and screen media through educational opportunities, mentoring, public speaking, technical training and networking events.

The program was founded by Amy DeLouise, originally as a program with WIFV-DC who continue to work with us as a partner and/or fiscal sponsor on many events. #GALSNGEAR has offered pop-up panels, networking events, virtual conferences and training opportunities for women since 2016. Recent events have been produced in partnership with the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB), Future Media Conferences (FMC), Women in Film & Video (DC), Verizon Media, Blackmagic Design, Adobe, and Broadcast Beat.

EMERGING LEADERS CAREER ACCELERATOR AT NAB SHOW

Become the Leader Your Are Meant to Be

#GALSNGEAR will be offering our unique Women’s Career Accelerator for Emerging Leaders during NAB Show this year in Las Vegas. The program, from 8:30am-1pm PT on Tuesday, October 12 includes a pre-event 8 Dimensions of Leadership assessment of each participant, two in-depth workshop sessions–one on leadership skills and one on professional branding–plus three networking opportunities. “We know that women who own their leadership journey are better equipped to lead and inspire high-performing teams that deliver impact” says #GALSNGEAR Founder Amy DeLouise. “This workshop is an extension of the Leadership Academy that we launched last year, and we’re excited to be partnering with NAB to help emerging leaders take the next steps in their careers in screen media and technology.” Details of the sessions and registration can be found here. In order to make this a personalized experience, registration will be limited to 75.
