Women and Hollywood is proud to be on the steering committee for TheWrap’s Power Women Summit, which will be held on November 1 and 2 in Los Angeles. The summit will be the largest gathering of influential women in entertainment, media, and technology, and aims to inspire and empower 1,000 women across the landscape of their professional careers and personal lives.

It will provide two days of education, mentorship, workshops, and networking to promote the goal of greater women’s leadership in this industry, and gender balance in media, entertainment, and technology overall.

Thanks to Amazon Studios, Women and Hollywood has 25 tickets to offer for FREE to members of our community.

If you would like to be considered for one of the tickets we need you to send a short essay by 5pm EST on October 1 on why coming to this summit will be beneficial to your life and your work.
