Women Of Aviation Worldwide Week (WOAW) is an annual global event that aims to raise awareness about the opportunities for women in the aviation and aerospace industries, as well as to encourage more women to consider careers in these fields. The event is typically held during the week of March 8th, which is also International Women's Day, and features a wide range of activities, including seminars, workshops, conferences, networking events, and flying experiences. WOAW was founded by Mireille Goyer, a pilot and aviation enthusiast, in response to the low representation of women in the aviation industry. The event has been celebrated since 2010 and has grown significantly over the years, attracting thousands of participants and supporters worldwide. The main objectives of Women Of Aviation Worldwide Week are to: Increase awareness about the history and contributions of women in aviation and aerospace. Encourage more women and girls to explore and pursue careers in these industries. Provide mentorship, support, and networking opportunities for women in the aviation and aerospace fields. Break down stereotypes and change perceptions about the roles women can play in these industries. Various organizations, institutions, and individuals collaborate to organize events during WOAW, including flight schools, aviation museums, aerospace companies, and professional associations. These events provide opportunities for participants to learn about the wide range of careers available in aviation and aerospace, as well as to connect with role models and mentors who can help guide and inspire them.

CAMEX, New Orleans (US-LA): March 7-10

06:20 AM | -

CAMEX is the only annual trade show in the world that explicitly supports organizations that sell to colleges and college students. The trade show occurs annually. PLEASE NOTE: Treat all televised and venue-specific events (sporting, concerts, trade shows, etc.) as estimated. Several factors can cause an event to move dates at the last minute, including weather, strikes, natural disasters, political upheaval, conflicting programming, pandemics, and current events. Because of this, always verify the event with the promotor before committing resources. LEEP often estimates dates based on the previous year's schedules, as the final dates are only a few months, weeks, or days before the event. If the date is known to be estimated, you will see an (est) following the date in the title.

Cereal Day, Ntl.: March 7

06:20 AM | -

Granola is the first cereal, and it was created in 1863 by James Caleb Jackson. A vegetarian, Jackson operated Our Home on the Hillside, which the Jackson Sanatorium later replaced in Dansville, New York. In 1906, the Kellogg brothers entered the mass-produced cereal market with cornflakes. At the time, there were 42 competing brands in Michigan. The Kellogg Brothers were savvy marketers and disguised their cornflakes from others by signing the box and stating theirs were "The Original." They were on the cusp of a massive shift in consumer eating. A few years later, the process for pasteurizing milk was perfected, thus allowing it to last longer when refrigerated. Concurrently, with people now working and living in cities, the heavy protein and calorie breakfast of the past began to give way to a lighter carbohydrate breakfast. Cereal quickly became the preferred choice economically and for time. The Kellogg Brothers were able to build the business with various innovations to their packaging, marketing, and product offerings. In the 1920s, cereal became an exported product to the rest of the world. By the 1930s, with the world engulfed in the Great Depression, cereal became a meal substitute with added vitamins and minerals. Today cereal is an 11-billion-dollar-a-year business with a wide variety of tastes, flavors, and consistencies. Walk into any modern supermarket and see an entire row dedicated to cereal: 250 different types. Honey Nut Cheerios by General Mills continues to be the top-selling cereal in the world. Granola Day is an unofficial event with no sponsor.
