Inspirational Women: Trends, Updates, Forum, And Leadership Awards 2023

INSPIRATIONAL WOMEN FORUM AND LEADERSHIP AWARDS

Los Angeles Times B2B Publishing is excited to announce the third annual Inspirational Women Forum and Leadership Awards event, which aims to recognize and celebrate female business leaders who have achieved remarkable success and made significant contributions during the past 24 months. The event is scheduled to take place on November 7, 2023.

If you are a female business leader in Southern California — or if you know someone deserving of recognition—we cordially invite you to submit a nomination for award consideration. Our judging committee will evaluate candidates based on the following criteria:

Professional accomplishments spanning the past 12-24 months
Leadership roles held within and outside of their respective organizations, along with the impact they have made
Contributions to their industry, organization, and community throughout their careers
Involvement in board memberships, non-profit work, and affiliations

The Inspirational Women Forum and Leadership Awards is a comprehensive full-day event. The event’s morning and afternoon sessions will feature a series of dynamic panel discussions led by insightful female leaders from the fashion, technology, professional services, entertainment and nonprofit industries who will bring important and relevant issues to light. This year, we will also present a special editorial-programmed panel by our Entertainment team, called THE RISE OF THE HOLLYWOOD SIDE HUSTLE, where guest celebrities will share their journeys from acting to becoming influential business leaders. The day will conclude with a few inspiring words from our keynote speaker and a formal awards dinner, during which we will honor outstanding individuals from corporations and non-profit organizations in approximately 10 award categories, acknowledging their exceptional achievements and noteworthy successes over the past 12-24 months.

Subsequently, the L.A. Times B2B Publishing team will publish a companion magazine both in print and online, providing profiles of the nominees and recapping the event.

There is no cost associated with submitting a nomination for award consideration. However, please note that due to space limitations, we will only feature two nominees from each company or firm.

You may contact Karren Adamyan at (626) 347-8673 for any issues with the submission.
