2021 MATRIX AWARDS

VIRTUAL EVENT | MONDAY, OCTOBER 18, 2021 | 12:00 P.M. ET

Combining the success of last year’s virtually produced event with the return to normalcy we’re all feeling, we are thrilled to offer a hybrid awards ceremony this year. A professionally produced event broadcast for all to attend coupled with an invitation-only VIP reception for honorees, their guests, and exclusive sponsors.

PRESENTED BY HOSTED BY New York Women in Communications (NYWICI) celebrates the 51st Anniversary of its Matrix Awards in 2021

Since 1971, the Matrix Awards have been given annually to a group of outstanding women leaders who exemplify excellence, the courage to break boundaries and steadfast commitment to champion the next generation of trailblazers, creatives and communicators. But this year will be different, bigger and better. The 2021 Matrix Awards will be delivered as a virtual event, on Monday, October 18 at 12pm ET. This digital presentation offers many new exciting possibilities, breaking down barriers of time and geography to reach a wider audience and new communities. We’ll be able to expand the audience and influence of the usual in-person gathering several-fold. NYWICI will welcome back past winners and presenters, celebrate our scholarship winners and spotlight our longstanding and newly engaged partners who make this all possible. Over the past 50 years, we’ve celebrated some iconic women like Gloria Steinem, Padma Lakshmi, Norah O’Donnell, Halle Berry, Kirsten Gillibrand, Andrea Mitchell, Joanna Coles, Bonnie Hammer, Sheryl Sandberg and Tina Fey, among many more. This event is NYWICI’s largest fundraiser and we invite you to join us as an event sponsor, demonstrating your support of NYWICI, women in the communications field and the incredible class of 2021 Matrix honorees. Proceeds support the NYWICI Foundation, which offers a robust Scholarship Program helping young women pursue studies in communications fields, plus a full calendar of programs and educational opportunities for our members and the community at large. Please review the sponsorship and advertising opportunities found here. NYWICI’s mission is to empower women at every stage of their careers to reach their full potential. We look forward to welcoming you to this entertaining and very inspiring event. 2021 MATRIX HONOREES
