OTT Summit — Women First

The Asia Video Industry Association strongly believes in the need to give opportunities to all. We are a meritocratic industry and believe hard work and talent should be rewarded wherever it is found. Diversity, equity and inclusion are not just labels, they are values which, when embraced, can make companies stronger.

One of the most visible and fundamental forms of representation is that of gender. The issue of gender representation and increasing female empowerment in the video industry has been high on our agenda since the very inception of the Asia Video Industry Association. Our predecessor organization, Casbaa, was often not perceived to be inclusive. The change in name was designed not only to reflect the shifting nature of our industry, but also to signify a new, more inclusive approach. I believe we are delivering on that promise.
