Award-Winning Producer of "The Walking Dead" Gale Anne Hurd to Keynote BlogHer '13
Intimate and Interactive Conversation With the Producer Behind Some of the Strongest Women On-Screen, From Sarah Connor to The Walking Dead's Michonne
(firmenpresse) - BELMONT, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 04/18/13 -- ., the premium cross-platform media network and publisher for women, announced today that Gale Anne Hurd will be a featured keynote speaker at BlogHer '13 on Saturday, July 27, 2013 in Chicago.
With her films having won Academy Awards, Independent Spirit Awards, and Sundance Film Festival honors throughout her three decades as a film Producer, Hurd entered the television market with a bang, as Producer of the record-breaking AMC series, "The Walking Dead." "The Walking Dead" currently reigns as the most-watched scripted drama, beating all broadcast and cable series, and is the #1 television series among adults 18-49.
The 9th annual BlogHer Conference will host 5,000 attendees, the largest gathering of influential online women, major brand name sponsors and top national media. Three months ahead of the launch of Season Four of "The Walking Dead," Hurd will talk about sustaining creativity and innovation for the long-term, and what it has taken to succeed in the highly competitive (and male-dominated) environment of action entertainment.
"Gale Anne Hurd is a trailblazer, creative powerhouse, business-savvy head of her own production company, and dedicated user of social media to connect with her shows' fans," said Elisa Camahort Page, BlogHer co-founder and COO. "Her experience and vision should resonate deeply with BlogHer's community of creative, entrepreneurial women at the forefront of social media."
"As an avid supporter of women in the media, I am honored to be part of this year's BlogHer Convention, the world's largest conference for women in social media," said Hurd. "I look forward to sharing my career with these amazing women and, in turn, learning something from them."
