WiT - Women in Toys, Licensing & Entertainment

Thank you to all the incredible women innovators who joined us at WiT Empowerment Day in Las Vegas last month! Your enthusiasm, creativity, and ambition made the day truly unforgettable. We were so inspired by your innovative pitches, the insights you shared, and the powerful network of like-minded women that came together. From insightful conversations to meaningful connections, this event was a great reminder of how powerful our community is. We’re already counting down to next year’s event! #womenintoys #licensing #entertainment #LicensingExpo #WiTempowermentday #networking #TBT
