Cat Cora, a world-renowned chef, beloved TV host and personality, author and editor, restaurateur, actress and philanthropist, will join ABC’s “The Chew” Co-Host Carla Hall, previously announced here, onstage during the June 24 lunchtime keynote for a lively fireside chat.

“I am so excited to be joining Chef Carla and all of the incredible women on stage at #BlogHer17 Conference,” Cora said. “I look forward to sharing my voice with the many amazing women that make up the BlogHer community.”

Spotlight Talks

Set to take place throughout all the #BlogHer17 keynotes, Spotlight Talks are akin to mini-TED or Ignite-style talks, during which the following leaders and influencers will offer attendees a fresh take and new spin on topics they may have believed were well-trodden, from a new philosophy on the age-agnostic generation of Perennials, to accessing the inner athlete in us all, to changing the narrative for and about youth:

  • Bobby Jones, Chief Marketer & Communications Officer, Peace First
  • Donna Orender, a former All America and Professional basketball player prior to becoming a Senior Executive for the PGA Tour and then President of the WNBA. Orender is currently CEO of Orender Unlimited, a business consulting company and Founder of GENERATION W, a platform dedicated to connecting, inspiring and educating women and girls.
  • Gina Pell, Content Chief, theWhat List
  • Keech Combe-Shetty, CEO, Vagisil. Granddaughter of the founders of Vagisil, Combe-Shetty is shameless about vaginal health. It’s her mission to help women around the world get the information and solutions they need for better vaginal health.
