Olivia Wilde, Gloria Steinem, Katie Couric, attorney, educator and chair of the Hollywood Commission, Anita Hill, former Congresswoman Katie Hill and HuffPost editor-in-chief Lydia Polgreen are set to headline this year's annual women's summit, Other names on the 2020 roster for the event, which runs from Feb. 10-12 at the InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown, include author Judy Blume, 11-year-old skateboarder and Olympic-bound Sky Brown, and skateboarding legend Tony Hawk.
The three-day, conversation-focused conference will center on issues connected to its theme of "NOT DONE," including intersectionality, microaggressions in the workplace and representation in Hollywood. "This year's Makers Conference theme 'NOT DONE' epitomizes where we are in the women’s movement. The right to vote? Become CEO? Serve in combat? Travel to space? Done. Equal pay? The ERA? Reproductive rights? Madame President? Not done. As we continue to make progress in advancing the movement towards equality, there is still more work to be done," said Dyllan McGee, founder and executive producer of MAKERS.
"At Makers, we believe in the power of every voice and are dedicated to creating a digital world that drives positive change. We are so proud that Makers provides a platform for groundbreaking storytelling," said Guru Gowrappan, CEO of Verizon Media.
