Shure CEO Christine Schyvinck to keynote Avixa Women's Council Breakfast at InfoComm 2019

The Avixa Women's Council, a global community for supporting and empowering women in the AV industry, will host its annual breakfast event at InfoComm 2019, on Thursday, June 13, with keynote speaker Christine Schyvinck, President and CEO of Shure Incorporated.

At the breakfast, Schyvinck will discuss attracting and retaining women in the audiovisual and technology industries. “Women in the audiovisual industry and more broadly, technology, have been a life-long interest to me,” says Schyvinck. “Being a mechanical engineering student in the 1980s, I was joined by a small number of women in lecture halls. And I thought now, three decades later, things would have changed a lot.

“We've made progress but not enough. Our industry needs to have more discussions about reaching women at a younger age - about junior high age - to show them what a career in technology looks like. At the Women Council's breakfast, I'll talk about how to get young women engaged in the AV industry, and I'll also talk about diversity overall in the workplace - why it's important and how it delivers results and satisfaction."

As the highest-ranking officer at Shure, Schyvinck is one of a few women to hold an executive position in the pro-audio industry. She has led critical initiatives for the company, including reducing product costs, executing international manufacturing and sourcing strategies, delivering innovative technologies to the market, and globalizing sales and marketing operations.

The annual Women's Council breakfast at InfoComm attracts more than 250 attendees. In addition to the keynote presentation this year, the event will focus on the initiatives and accomplishments of the council's 34 local groups worldwide and the career empowerment program. Registration for the Avixa Women's Council Breakfast is available when registering for InfoComm 2019 at www.infocommshow.org.
