The guest list for Reese Witherspoon’s next event is shining bright with talent.
The Oscar winner exclusively unveiled to E! News that her company Hello Sunshine’s third annual Shine Away event—a two-day fan experience, in partnership with AT&T, focused on celebrating women who embrace their agency—will feature a star-studded lineup of speakers, including Mariska Hargitay and Chrissy Teigen.
Reese will also be joined by Hunting Wives stars Malin Akerman and Brittany Snow, as well as actresses Yvonne Orji, Jennie Garth and Karen Pittman. Beyond onscreen talent, the list of speakers includes authors Monica Lewinsky, Jen Hatmaker and Rainbow Rowell, plus comedian Lilly Singh, model Molly Sims and entrepreneur Jaspre Guest.
“I’m so excited to welcome such an extraordinary group of women to Shine Away’s third year,” the Big Little Lies star shared in a statement to E! News. “With each bringing their own unique voice and perspective, I know our community will feel inspired by the conversations and connections we’ll share together.”
She added, “It’s an honor to celebrate our third year surrounded by so much creativity and joy.”
The Shine Away event—scheduled to take place Oct. 11 and Oct. 12 at the Universal Studios Lot in Universal City, Calif.—will also serve as the launch of Reese’s book tour for Gone Before Goodbye, the novel she co-wrote alongside author Harlan Coben, who is also set to join her.
While this year’s event—which will also feature a musical performance by Maren Morris—includes a long list of well-known names, Reese has been vocal about her central focus for the annual conference.
“There’s magic in being truly seen, and that’s what Shine Away has always been about—creating space for women’s full, multidimensional stories to unfold,” she told People in July. “As we enter our third year, we’re not just expanding our physical footprint but deepening our commitment to celebrating the beautiful friction of growth and the unexpected joy found in the process of becoming who we’re meant to be.”
