WomenVenture Photo

As a safety precaution, we’ve decided to make the traditional WomenVenture group photo a virtual experience.

After you pick up your WomenVenture T-shirt, snap a selfie of yourself wearing your new duds at your favorite AirVenture location. Then text your selfie to 1-920-282-2747. You’ll not only receive your free digital WomenVenture 2021 framed photo, but we’ll also create a 2021 commemorative photo collage from submitted photos, which will be available for download after AirVenture 2021.

When you get your free digital WomenVenture 2021 framed photo back via text, don’t forget to share it on your favorite social media channel with #EAAWomenVenture. Check back to this page during the week of AirVenture for a feed of fabulous WomenVenture selfies!
