Women In The Arts & Media Coalition Inc

Women In The Arts & Media Coalition empowers women in the creative industries through advocacy, education, and networking. They provide resources and support to ensure women's voices are heard and valued in film, theater, and media.

Join the WAM Coalition for a straightforward guide to getting the rights you need&nbsp;for film and theater. Led by top entertainment attorneys Innes Smolansky and Diane Krause, this session breaks down what you need to know&mdash;and how to get it done, step by step. Learn how to lock in books, scripts, and life rights, structure smart deals, and avoid the mistakes that can kill a project before it starts. It&rsquo;s practical, insider knowledge to help you move with confidence&mdash;and leverage. Come for the strategy, stay for the Q&amp;A and mingling. Seats are limited.
