IAWRT Virtual Biennial 2020
The Biennial has been an occasion to meet, greet and expand the network of women in media, filmmakers, podcasters, radio broadcasters, professors, researchers, print and visual journalists.
It has been an occasion to strengthen this amazing network of women who believe in the power and potential of IAWRT to be the change they want to see.
Over the years, the physical meetings have given members an opportunity to travel to new lands, meet new members and strengthen bonds with the older ones.
