What will it take to stand out—and stay visible—in the next wave of media?

Join us for our final Cocktails & Conversations of the year as we dive into the trends, talent, and tools shaping the 2026 media landscape for women 40+. From influencers rewriting the rules to industry insiders flipping the script on visibility and voice, this is your inside track to what’s next.

Sip something festive, network with fellow game-changers, and leave with fresh ideas to get seen, heard, and yes, buzzed about in 2026.

🎉Cocktails and Conversations is where business, boldness, and bourbon meet (even if you're sipping sparkling water).
