EVENTS
SEPT 19-20 | Los Angeles, CA
Careers are shaped by more than the work itself. They’re shaped by the perspectives we gain, the experiences we access, and the relationships we build along the way.
That’s at the heart of GEMA EmpowerHER, which connects, elevates, and supports women through mentorship, professional development, meaningful relationships, and career-building experiences.
This September, that mission comes to life at Create & Cultivate, bringing together founders, executives, creators, and business leaders for two days of inspiring conversations, fresh perspectives, meaningful connections, and professional development.
Whether you’re looking to broaden your perspective, spark new ideas, or grow your network, it’s an opportunity to step into a room designed for growth and connection.
GEMA is pleased to offer 20% off General Admission Festival Registration with code: GEMAFESTIVAL20
What to Expect:
✔ Real connections, no agendas! Meet new faces, reconnect with old friends, and expand your network in a casual no pressure setting.
✔ Have your first drink on us! Because great conversations deserve a great toast.
Support the GEMA EmpowerHER Initiative and be a catalyst for change in entertainment marketing. Your brand’s involvement empowers, connects, and elevates women across film, TV/streaming, music, sports, and gaming, championing diversity and leadership
at every career stage. Join us in shaping a more inclusive and innovative future.
As an EmpowerHER Ally, your brand will be recognized
as a valued supporter of this powerful initiative.
