Unfiltered Talk: Real Conversations for Women in Streaming Media

Moderator: Alicia Pritchett, Producer & Senior Strategy Executive, Media & Entertainment

• Encourage participants to drop the polished, “panel-ready” tone and share truths—both challenges and wins—that don’t usually make it into public conversations.
• Help attendees realise they’re not alone. Topics might include imposter syndrome, navigating male-dominated rooms, advocating for promotions, burnout, or pushing for representation.
• Let attendees share not just challenges, but how they’ve navigated them—so others walk away with new tools, perspectives, or simply the confidence to keep going.
• Surface issues that are often glossed over in formal settings—e.g., pay inequity, tokenism, lack of mentorship, or juggling caregiving and leadership roles.
