Valley residents have the opportunity to join a global community of women, including television personality, model and actress Audrina Patridge, in celebrating trailblazing women who are transforming communities during the annual What She Said women-speaker series returning to W Scottsdale on August 24.
In honor of Women’s Equality Day on August 26, W Scottsdale is continuing to amplify the voice of women who challenge the status quo with the return of its prestigious What She Said speaker series, a W Hotels & Resorts branded series featuring conversations among women that celebrate individuality, inclusivity and honesty, while tackling the issues of today from work, love, play and everything in between.
Co-presented with The Modern Day Wife, the latest installment of the female-driven event will feature an evening of empowering and educational conversations with celebrities, creators, CEOs, designers and founders who are breaking the mold, pushing the limits and inspiring others along the way.
Among the event’s successful panelists is Audrina Patridge, the American television personality, model and actress, who will speak at the event and host an intimate VIP pre-party. In addition to the panels, attendees will enjoy a fashion show, beauty tutorial and exclusive pop-up shops with over-the-top photo opportunities to capture the dynamic evening.
“We are honored to host another inspiring and engaging installment of What She Said at W Scottsdale with our partners at Modern Day Wife,” says W Scottsdale Marketing Manager Anna Ly-Luu. “We are excited to continue spotlighting remarkable women who are making a difference in their communities and host an evening packed with real and honest conversations and celebrate women empowerment across all industries and backgrounds.”
