LC Sign Sponsors the 2026 Women in Signs Awards
As the global signage industry continues to evolve, professional capability and leadership from women are playing an increasingly visible role in shaping how projects are designed, delivered, and experienced. On April 9, 2026, "the Women in Signs Awards" ceremony was held at the International Sign Expo（ISA） in Orlando. The program highlights how industry development is driven through practical work across different roles and regions.
LC Sign was honored to sponsor “the 2026 Women in Signs Awards”, an industry initiative that brings together professionals across design, production, project management, and business operations to recognize contributions within the global signage sector.
As part of the event, LC Sign CMO Tony participated in industry discussions and delivered a keynote speech to global signage professionals. He shared perspectives on how the industry is shaped through execution, collaboration, and long-term contribution across real project environments.
“Leadership in any industry is defined by capability and contribution. Progress comes from the ability to build, solve, and deliver consistently in practice,” LC Sign CMO Tony shared. “In the signage industry, opportunities are not defined by gender, but by capability and impact. At LC Sign, we see this clearly in our own organization, where women are actively leading business growth and contributing to its continued success, which is something we are genuinely proud of.”
This belief is alive within LC Sign, rooted in the career of co-founder Anne L. Much like this year’s honorees, her path was built on the ground floor—driving business development, managing client accounts, and navigating project coordination through the company’s early years. For us, supporting the Women in Signs Awards isn’t just a sponsorship; it is a direct reflection of our own journey, celebrating the exact same market grit and practical capability that define our story from the very beginning.
