Gerety has taken its championing of gender equality in the creative industries outside its awards program and into the wider business world. Together with Women Empowered Global (WEG), a global forum for female entrepreneurs and leaders, the Gerety Awards has organised a global summit on March 9 for International Women’s Day, with a free-access pass with prior registration at www.womenempoweredglobal.com/iwd

Lucia Ongay commented, “The summit will feature internationally acclaimed leaders and present meaningful and thought- provoking perspectives in addressing gender norms, cultural stigma; offering best practices and insights this international women’s day.”

WEG is “A global society of award-winning influencers empowering women through career, leadership, and entrepreneurial programs”. It collaborates with international experts to  design focused programs to develop and stimulate the female workforce. The company cirrently works with over 37 award-winning partners from around the world and has a presence in over 23 countries across 6 continents.

Gerety Awards has been redefining advertising and communications with its all-female awards jury, offering a fresh way of celebrating outstanding work in communications and marketing.

The Gerety Awards entry deadline is now firmly set for April 2. The global shortlist and agency of the year by country titles will be announced the second week of June followed by live jury panel discussions that will again give unique insight from advertising industry leaders as well as being a predictor for awards taking place later this year.
