Friday Diary – Women: Inspiration & Enterprise Symposium Led by Arianna Huffington

…as well as Donna Karan, trailblazing fashion designer, and Sarah Brown, the wife of former Prime Minister Gordon Brown and a prominent female business owner in the UK. (the PR firm Hobsbawm Macaulay Communications, known for integrity PR).

September 18 – 19, 2011
Location Unknown for Day 1, Day 2 at 82Mercer
New York, NY
 

It starts with Enterprise Day (Sept 18) on the topics of Fundraising, Film, Fashion, & Social Media and then Inspiration Day (Sept 19) with panel across a broad spectrum of timely topics including the “green revolution”. What an exciting event for women to hear from those that came before them – and from such an eclectic lineup of leaders. I hope this draws an eclectic, diverse group of women beyond media as well. I’m so happy this is happening in New York. WIE was started by June Sarpong (UK presenter) and Dee Poku (branding and comm with strong film background, member of the British Academy) last year.

Here’s video coverage of last year’s event with a truly illustrious (star-studded to be frank) line-up indeed:
