WAWA Wonder Women Lunch: Reinventing the wheel in times of disruption
This is an invitation-only event.
The Wonder Women Panel & Luncheon was developed by NATPE Global and WAWA (Worldwide Audiovisual Women's Association). This exclusive event will bring together a panel with the finalists for the 2023 WAWA Woman of the Year Award for an inspiring afternoon of networking, a great meal, and an engaging conversation. This is an invitation-only event.
The maxim “change is the only constant” is perhaps nowhere more true than in the global entertainment industry, which at its core is characterized by disruption and transformation. At an exclusive WAWA gathering at NATPE Miami in 2020, Cynthia Hudson declared that the industry was experiencing a period of unprecedented change, comparing the moment with the transition from horse-drawn carriage to automobile. Inspired, the group concluded that it was the perfect time to embrace creativity and innovation in order to move forward. No one could have anticipated that the world would come to a standstill just a month later.
Now, four years on, Hudson returns along with the WAWA Woman of the Year 2023 nominees to assess the transformative journey since her forward-looking NATPE 2020 speech. Examining the industry shifts, business models, and adaptation over the past four years, this panel explores the unprecedented change we faced and the reality that unfolded. How much have we changed? What is not working anymore?
