The by-invitation-only event was designed as a global platform for women in entertainment to connect, network and expand business opportunities on an international level.

The prestigious invites will be extended to execs from major studios, production companies, TV networks and leaders in technology and digital media.

Lifetime Networks’ president and general manager Nancy Dubuc will lead a panel discussion where selected execs will share the experiences that have shaped their careers and their visions of the future.
