The SoundGirls & Women In Vinyl Virtual Conference 2025 is officially live and open for registration! This two-day online event (December 13–14) is designed to educate, inspire, and connect professionals and aspiring talent across the audio and AV industries.

Teaching the Tech:

In AV and audio, great techs often get asked to train, but knowing how to do the job doesn’t always mean you know how to teach it. This session helps working professionals become better educators, mentors, and leaders. Pulling from AV Educate’s “Train the Trainer” framework, we’ll explore how to break down skills, run hands-on labs, and teach in a way that sticks. Whether you’re leading crews, mentoring a friend, or launching your own workshops, this session gives you the tools to become a confident trainer.

The AV Career Map:

Building a Freelance Future Whether you’re just getting started or trying to level up, this session is a real-world guide to building a freelance career in the AV and audio industries. Learn how to land gigs, set your rates, negotiate contracts, manage your time, and navigate client relationships like a pro. Based on 15+ years of industry experience and mentoring hundreds of AV pros through AV Educate, this session delivers tactical, proven advice to help freelancers take control of their careers.
