About this Event

On Thursday, June 18, from 4:30–8 PM, join Women in Film Chicago and Thunderlab Productions for an interactive evening exploring what it means to produce in today’s evolving advertising landscape.

Hosted at Thunderlab Productions, the event will feature immersive working sets staffed by professionals across the industry, offering attendees the chance to ask questions, make connections, and gain firsthand insight into the creative and technical disciplines that bring commercial work to life.

The evening's featured panel, Rethink Commercial Production: Roles. Tools. Expectations., will explore how the industry is changing. From brand-side ideation and independent creators to the rise of the multi-hyphenate producer, today's landscape looks very different from what it did just a few years ago. Hear from veteran producers and industry leaders as they discuss where the work is coming from, how roles are evolving, and the skills and perspectives shaping the future of commercial production.
