Chicago, IL / Global — Source Elements is proud to announce that our Technical Co-Founder and CEO, Rebekah Wilson, has been honored with the Technology Excellence Award as part of the 2026 Women Without Boundaries Awards, presented by Diversified at NAB Show New York.
The Technology Excellence Award specifically recognizes “a woman driving innovation, technical excellence, or creative problem-solving across AV, media, broadcast, workplace, or digital experience technology.”
A Visionary Leading Through Human Connection
Since co-founding Source Elements in 2005, Rebekah has spearheaded a fundamental paradigm shift in media, broadcast, and audio production. By developing software like Source-Connect and Source-Nexus, she led the global transition away from legacy ISDN hardware to real-time, broadcast-quality internet collaboration. Under her guidance, Source-Connect has grown to become the universally recognized industry standard for the voiceover, ADR, and remote post-production community.
I’m honoured to be recognized at the Women Without Boundaries Awards at NAB Show New York. This program celebrates women who are shaping the future of our industry through leadership, innovation, and a commitment to creating opportunities for others.
I’m grateful to be part of a community that continues to challenge boundaries, inspire change, and champion the next generation of women in our industry. It’s been an incredible experience to celebrate alongside so many incredible women.
