Terri Davies, Senior Vice President, Global Eagle says: “Our collaboration with WOW is an important step towards diversifying the inflight entertainment content airlines can offer to passengers. I am delighted to support the foundation in spreading awareness of WOW Festivals and the fantastic speakers they attract. We hope to extend our partnership with The WOW Foundation to continue to provide our clients with engaging and empowering content.”

The WOW Foundation was created by Jude Kelly CBE in 2018 to run the global movement that is WOW – Women of the World Festivals.

The Festivals began in the UK in 2010, launched by Kelly at the Southbank Centre London, where she was Artistic Director, to celebrate women and girls, taking a frank look at what prevents them from achieving their potential, raising awareness globally of the issues they face, and discussing solutions together
