#Empowerher Fall Event: Women Shaping Culture

As Toronto takes centre stage during TIFF, #EmpowerHER will bring together women leaders from across media, entertainment, brands and storytelling to explore the forces shaping culture today.

From the screen to the boardroom, the conversation will examine how women are influencing the stories, platforms and ideas that capture attention—and what it takes to lead with creativity, influence and impact in today’s attention economy.

Speakers:

  • Kaitlyn Leeb, Actress and Producer
  • Karen Bruce, WIFT Toronto
  • Shannon Lewis, President, CMDC
  • Carlyn Klebuc, General Manager, Original Programming, Bell Media

The Experience

  • Meaningful networking with industry peers, leaders and CMDC Board members
  • Interactive roundtable coaching sessions
  • Women-powered pop-ups featuring Lucky & Charmed, Eatable and MeadowSweets
  • Light canapés and crafted mocktails

Thank you to our valued #Empowerher sponsor, Samsung Ads, for supporting women across the media industry. We rise by lifting others.
