At Tech25, we are proud to support SoundGirls in their mission to educate and empower the next generation of women and non-binary professionals in audio. As part of this commitment, we are excited to help SoundGirls raise funds to attend the 2025 USITT Conference, a pivotal event for networking, education, and career advancement in technical theatre and audio.

Tech25 staff members Carolyn Slothour (New York) and Laura Moeller (Pittsburgh) are SoundGirls Chapter Directors and are helping to spearhead this effort. In addition, Jordan Gilliam will join Carolyn in instructing several workshops at this year's conference.

USITT connects performing arts design and technology communities to ensure a vibrant dialogue among practitioners, educators, and students. USITT was founded in 1960 as an organization to promote dialogue, research, and learning among practitioners of theatre design and technology. Today, the Institute boasts thousands of members at all levels of their careers and has embraced the new technologies being used in entertainment. USITT is now the leader in life-long learning opportunities for the entertainment design and technology industry. - USITT.org

Why This Fundraiser Matters:
Women make up only 5% of the professional workforce in audio and music production. SoundGirls exists to change that by providing mentorship, education, and networking opportunities to women and non-binary people in the industry. The USITT Conference is an incredible opportunity for SoundGirls to showcase their mission, offer classes, and connect with industry leaders, but they need support to cover membership costs and ensure their presence at the event.

How You Can Help:
For just $20, you can gain lifetime access to over 50 video sessions from the SoundGirls Virtual Conference. These sessions cover a wide range of topics, including:

  • Live Sound
  • Post-Production
  • Recording Arts
  • Film & TV Sound

Not only will your contribution support the SoundGirls mission, but you will also gain invaluable knowledge to help advance your own career in audio.
