“Changing The Ratio: A Celebration of Gender Diversity in Media”

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.

Organizations like AWFC, Film Fatales, 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 diversified talent, enabling industry professionals to hire inclusively and build diverse teams that enhance creativity and innovation.

The program will feature engaging panels, networking opportunities, and creative entertainment moments designed to inspire action and collaboration.

Jennifer Hutchins, Entertainment Today’s News Reporter shares, “This event isn’t just about networking—it’s about sparking ideas, building connections, and creating real change in the entertainment industry.” This is a chance to gain valuable insights, discover opportunities to collaborate with industry leaders, and walk away with actionable tools to shape the future of entertainment.
