Women in Animation (now WIA) was created in 1993 to support the small number of women in the field of animation through community building and professional networking opportunities. Since then, WIA has evolved into the foremost non-profit advocacy group supporting female-identifying and non-binary people in animation, visual effects, and gaming, and includes over 11,000 members worldwide.
WIA has made great strides over the last 30 years to increase the number of professionals of underrepresented gender identities in the industry. Today, WIA provides community, advocacy, and resources to professionals and students to support their career goals in all realms of animation.
Interested in a chat with them? Make sure to visit the WIA booth right in our Industry Garden! They will join us on Friday 11 October from 16:00 – 20:00.
