This event is for everyone who values innovation, collaboration, and access to top-tier talent. We all play a critical role in shaping a more inclusive entertainment industry, and this is a unique opportunity to connect with diverse voices and expand your network.
Despite making up nearly half of film school graduates, women hold less than 20% of key behind-the-scenes roles in top-grossing films and account for only 7% of composers in film and television, and only 6% of directors. Organizations like AWFC, Film Fatales, WIFT Austin, and AEB are working to change this narrative by providing mentorship, resources, and platforms that empower underrepresented voices.
A key focus of this event will be showcasing resources to help attendees identify and connect with qualified gender diverse talent, enabling industry professionals to hire inclusively and build diverse teams that enhance creativity and innovation.
Sponsored by ShotDeck with beverages from Tequila 512 and Good Night Loving Vodka.
