WiTH Unveils Mission to Empower Community Inclusion in M+E

In the world of media and entertainment technology, where innovation creates magic on screen, there’s an even more enchanting story behind the scenes – a story of empowerment, equity, and inclusion.

As we embark on a journey of empowerment within the world of media and entertainment technology, we invite you to be an essential part of this transformative narrative.

Your generosity has the power to propel us closer to our goals and create a more inclusive industry.

In the spirit of giving, we introduce the Individual Event Sponsorship option for the upcoming SoCal Women’s Leadership Summit.

A donation of $500 not only shows your commitment to change but also earns you a special place in the conference program, symbolizing your dedication to fostering empowerment and inclusivity in our community.

Your support resonates far beyond its monetary value, becoming a cornerstone of progress in the world of technology and storytelling.

Welcome to the Women in Technology: Hollywood (WiTH) Foundation, where every pixel carries the brilliance of diversity, and every line of code is a testament to belonging.

Our vision: creating equity in the spotlight

Imagine a world where the spotlight isn’t just on the stars, but on everyone who makes the magic happen — regardless of their gender, background, or identity.

That’s the world WiTH is shaping. Our vision is simple yet powerful: to inspire, empower, and educate, creating an equitable and inclusive media and entertainment technology community.

Our mission: opening doors and bridging gaps.
