Big Little Announcement Incoming! 
After hosting Ryan Reynolds at last year’s Meltwater Summit, the pressure was on to find another spectacular headliner for our keynote speaker. Well, now I’m over the moon to share that for 2025 we’re welcoming another incredible guest with serious business chops, not to mention star power: Elle Woods herself, Reese Witherspoon! 🤩
Â

Reese Witherspoon embodies our Summit theme “Insights to Impact” as a visionary entrepreneur who transformed industry insights into global influence. Fresh off Hello Sunshine’s global expansion in late 2024, she’s at the forefront of entertainment with “The Morning Show” alongside Jennifer Aniston, her upcoming film “You’re Cordially Invited” with Will Ferrell, and the anticipated Legally Blonde prequel “Elle.” Not to mention her first novel, a thriller, will be released in the fall of 2025.
Her success demonstrates her expertise in building authentic brands that resonate across entertainment, publishing, and commerce - making her an ideal voice for our audience of marketing leaders driving impact through storytelling.
At Summit, Reese will share her insights on:
- Building authentic narratives that drive consumer engagement
️
- Creating meaningful connections through social platforms
- Developing cohesive multi-channel brand strategies ♟️
- Scaling successful women-centric businesses
Â
Meltwater Summit 2025 is a premier 2-day networking and professional development experience where PR and marketing professionals transform insights into impactful strategies. Reese Witherspoon will headline a roster of top industry thought leaders - last year’s speakers included leaders from Lionsgate, NASCAR, TikTok, Microsoft, and more.Â
