Programming
It’s no secret that this industry runs on connections, but making them doesn’t have to feel intimidating or transactional.
At Lighthouse Ladies, we design every event to be intentional, energizing, and genuinely useful, no matter where you are in your creative journey.
From our paired networking Lighthouse Lounges (designed to spark real collaboration without the awkward small talk) to our Tangible Takeaways series (where panels come with actionable tools, not vague advice and jargon), our programming is built to help you leave with clarity, community, and next steps... not just a stack of business cards.
You’ve never experienced programming quite like this.
OUR TANGIBLE TAKEAWAYS SERIES IS BACK!
February 21st, 2026 | 12:00 - 2:00pm | NYC
Make It Happen: From Concept to Completion
Tired of panels that inspire but leave you asking, “Okay… now what?” Tangible Takeaways is Lighthouse Ladies’ action-driven workshop series for filmmakers, writers, actors, and multi-hyphenate creatives ready to move their projects from idea to execution.
After a candid panel with industry professionals, participants jump straight into guided workshop rotations to pitch ideas, build teams, and develop projects with real-time mentorship.
No fluff. No gatekeeping. Just collaboration and tangible next steps.
What You'll Get
• Real-world strategies for getting work made
• Direct feedback from working professionals
• New collaborators and creative community
• A clear plan to move your project forward
Networking can often feel so forced and nebulous, so we created the Lighthouse Lounge in hopes to bring a fun and positive spin to it that takes the pressure off.
Discover what Lighthouse Ladies has in store for you, explore exciting projects and collaboration opportunities, and connect with a vibrant network of creatives. Say goodbye to the typical forced networking experience and embrace the fun-filled twists and turns we have prepared for you! Plus... there's always free food!
This event is brought to you by Lighthouse Ladies and our community partner: the Dramatists Guild Foundation!
