VICE News’ Isobel Yeung, Antonia Hylton and Elle Reeve are joining TheWrap’s Power Women Summit, to be held November 1 and 2 in downtown Los Angeles.
Power Women Summit is the largest gathering ever assembled of the most influential women in entertainment, media and technology. The Summit aims to inspire and empower 1,000 women across the landscape of their professional careers and personal lives, by providing education, mentorship, workshops and networking.
They join a powerhouse lineup of Summit speakers including Anita Hill, Nancy Dubuc, Sherry Lansing, Barbara Boxer, Alyssa Milano, Felicity Jones, Dolores Huerta, Mira Sorvino, Tarana Burke, Jill Soloway, Emily Ratajkowski and many more.
Yeung, Hylton and Reeve will be featured at the Summit’s “Women on the Front Lines: The Women Leading Vice News” panel. These fearless women have done the seemingly-impossible: getting younger audiences to become more and more interested about international news in a way that traditional media has not. They bring their audiences an unvarnished look at some of the most important events of our time, and shine a light on underreported stories around the globe.
