Tuesday, 26 March 2024 marked a significant milestone for Kinly as we ran our second UK Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) forum. Building upon the success of our inaugural forum in September 2023, the event brought together a diverse range of voices from within Kinly and beyond, encouraging dialogue, collaboration and a shared commitment to driving positive change within the AV industry.
During last year’s International Women’s Day celebrations, we profiled Kagi Lau, our Operations Director for Global Services (GS) in the APAC region.
