Join us for an intimate panel discussion with female disruptors positively shaping an inclusive future for female representation in branded content.

​

 

Coinciding with International Women's Day's 2023 theme of 'innovation and technology in the digital age, for achieving gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls', the intimate panel discussion will bring together digital storytellers, metaverse creators, body positivity and equality activists to discuss obstacles and opportunities for women in marketing. We will explore what virtualisation and the trend of man-made digital bodies means for the future of female representation, both online and IRL.

 

Alongside this compelling chat, you'll be treated to a welcome drink on arrival, tasty cocktails by MOTH, a goody bag and a chance to network with panellists and attendees.
