In this next panel in our Women-focused series, we focus on Digital Women in Entertainment. Join us for this discussion with startup founders and CEOs, and digital filmmakers and content creators. Startup founders and CEOs will discuss how they founded their companies, developed their products, built their teams, raised money, get clients and customers, and do marketing and social media. Digital filmmakers and content creators will discuss how they adapt to digital, and use digital tools to create content and tell stories differently, from online to VR/AR/MR.  We will also discuss how to increase more women in entertainment in tech: What is needed? What are resources? What can we as a community do?
