This year’s event will be dedicated to the memory of Cass Warner, a visionary and influential figure in the entertainment industry, whose legacy continues to inspire many.
Cass Warner, the granddaughter of Warner Bros. co-founder Harry Warner, was a renowned filmmaker, author, and advocate for women in the industry. She dedicated her life to preserving the Warner family legacy while also championing diversity and inclusion in Hollywood. Her passing has left a profound void in the community, and WiTH honors her contributions by dedicating this year’s SoCal Women’s Leadership Summit to her memory.
Cass’s passion for storytelling and her relentless pursuit of equality set a powerful example for all of us, and her impact on the industry will be felt for generations to come. WiTH will celebrate her life and work, drawing inspiration from her remarkable achievements and unwavering spirit.
