Taking advantage of such a high profile influx, a variety of (relatively) small celebrations have popped-up around the city toasting virtually every worthy cause imaginable. One such event, co-hosted by
Lanmark Technology and
ELLE magazine, saw dozens of both locally and internationally recognizable celebrities come together to celebrate some of today’s leading women in media.
