We’re beyond thrilled to announce that Beth Lawrence has been invited to be a judge for the Symbol Creative Awards 2025, alongside experts from companies like Netflix, Google India and more!

The Symbol Creative Awards amplify and celebrate outstanding achievements in communications, marketing and advertising on a global scale. They represent the ultimate benchmark for excellence, creativity, and innovation, and past winners include creative leaders from companies like Mattel, Amazon, Hasbro and The LEGO Group.

Women’s History Month is as important as ever in 2025, when women are being removed from high-level positions across the government and many of our rights are in jeopardy. It has not been an easy month in many ways this year, but sometimes in the darkness a little light appears. That’s what it felt like to open LinkedIn and see my name amongst so many powerhouses on InEvent’s list of the Top 50 Influential Female Voices in the Events Industry.

When I received an email last week stating that I was named one of 50 Top Voices in Events to Pay Attention To by Gather Voices, I was elated. Then, when I examined my fellow ‘classmates,’ I could not believe I was considered among these true powerhouses in the Event Planning and Hospitality world!

I met Michelle Silberman through the Cooking with CBD event I produced earlier this year, and we immediately connected. She is a successful entrepreneur in her own right, as founder and CEO of Snackadabra, a local startup that has seen incredible success within this market and beyond.

I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed our conversation! Feel free to leave a comment about your favorite Food Magic moment below!

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Kristina Daniele on the Expo-Sed Conferences podcast!
