Yet less than 5 per cent of senior positions in the cinema industry are held by females. With numerous studies showing that companies that strive for gender-balanced leadership outperform others in terms of profit and turnover, this session will explore what might be done to encourage a greater representation of women amongst senior management roles in the industry. Join our panel of senior executives to explore the drivers behind this inequality in our industry and how we might stimulate change in the interests of equal opportunity and business growth.
