Inclusion and cocktails sounds like the perfect Twitter hashtag to support tonight's event, An Evening with Female Showrunners.

Perhaps you'll recall Variety's… faux pas…with their most recent version of their ongoing writers' room event. Out of 12 gathered professionals, only one was a woman. This, of course, caused a number of questions to be asked — where women purposely left out of the event, where they asked but unavailable, etc. — which Variety didn't really answer so much as admit they'd made a mistake.

Amy Berg, showrunner of STARZ's Counterpart, immediately began tweeting about another similar event. One in which female showrunners would gather to discuss "ALL THE THINGS", with so many participants that the event will be split into two back-to-back panels.

The event will be livestreamed thankfully, so those of us not in the LA area can watch.

We will also let you know as soon as the official links for the livestream.

Bleeding Cool News Editor Mary Anne Butler (Mab, for short) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), and most recently Bleeding Cool. 

Over the past 10 years, she’s built a presence at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). 

 Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. 

 Though she be but little, she is fierce. #MabTheProfessional
