Women In CE - Women in Consumer Electronics

Power Your Career in Consumer Electronics – a Career Enhancement Forum, June 26 in conjunction with CE Week at The Rubin Museum of Art in New York City.

Power Your Career in Consumer Electronics brings to life the heart of our core mission to educate, empower, mentor, and recruit more women into the consumer electronics industry. By attending this event, women throughout the supply chain of the industry will take away real tools to gain an edge and move ahead in CE-related fields. Both up-and-coming women and those that have ‘made it’ in the man’s world of CE will share a unique experience of a targeted and interactive program for success.

Power Your Career in Consumer Electronics includes sessions, topics, workshops, and keynote speakers that relate to career enhancement for all women pursuing a career in the corporate, small business, or entrepreneurial aspects of the CE field. The forum is open to women working in all segments of the CE industry including manufacturers, major retailers, specialty retailers, suppliers, integrators, distributors, manufacturers’ representatives, buying groups, and consultants.
