Brave Talk 2025:
The Public Media Women in Leadership Conference
THANK YOU FOR JOINING US AT BRAVE TALK 2025 IN PHILADELPHIA ~ celebrating PMWL’s 10th anniversary!
Brave Talk is the only conference designed specifically for women working in public media. It’s an energetic and interactive full-day gathering where you can ignite your leadership potential and connect with women at all levels of the public media system – from newbies to CEOs.
At this year’s Brave Talk, we had TWO keynote speakers. We hope you were encouraged by these conversations about the big, critical issues we’re all facing as a public media system.
