Hillary Clinton, Viola Davis, Ronan Farrow to Headline 9th Women in the World Summit

The annual conference at Lincoln Center will feature conversations about the #MeToo movement, "strong men" and pay equity.

Less than a month after The New York Times ended its financial ties with Tina Brown's Women in the World live event conference business, the company has announced that Hillary Clinton, Viola Davis, Ronan Farrow, Sheila Nevins and Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand and Lisa Murkowski will headline its upcoming 9th annual Women in the World Summit in New York.

The event, which will be held at Lincoln Center from April 12-14, will also feature gun control activist and Marjory Stoneman Douglas student Delaney Tarr, Nobel laureate Leymah Gbowee, restaurant workers’ activist Saru Jayaraman, Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi, the American Ballet Theatre's Misty Copeland, New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof, television presenter and actress Jameela Jamil and MSNBC's Joy-Ann Reid, Women in the World and Tina Brown Live Media announced Thursday.

This year's conference will feature discussions about the #MeToo movement, pay equity, trends in human trafficking, the relationship between intimate relationships and digital devices and how women are "transforming" the restaurant industry. Clinton in particular is set to lead a debate with journalists from Russia, Turkey, the Philippines and China to discuss "the rise of Strong Men," a press release stated.

“Women's courage in speaking out is transforming lives for millions by personal example, leadership, and inspiration as never before. That has always been the mission of Women in the World, and this year’s summit — the ninth year — will bring together all the passion and purpose of these last twelve months,” Brown, the former editor of Vanity Fair and The New Yorker and founder of The Daily Beast, said in a statement.

Since its founding in 2010, Women in the World has been staging global live events, of which the Women in the World Summit in New York is the flagship.

Though Women in the World and The New York Times announced they had "consciously uncoupled," in Brown's words, last month, the Times said it will continue to have a marketing partnership with the events company and that Times staffers will still appear at its events.
