Reese Witherspoon and Hello Sunshine are bringing their Shine Away event to Los Angeles for the third straight year, this time taking over the Universal Studios lot for two jam-packed days on Oct. 11 and 12.
Shine Away will offer back-to-back days of curated programming, activations, immersive experiences and conversations, with speakers including Mariska Hargitay, Malin Akerman, Chrissy Teigen, Monica Lewinsky, Angela Kinsey, Molly Sims, Karen Pittman and Brittany Snow, along with a special musical performance by Maren Morris. Witherspoon will also kick off the book tour for her debut novel — thriller Gone Before Goodbye — alongside co-author Harlan Coben, at the event; access to the Oct. 11 date of the book tour is included with purchase of a Shine Away ticket.
“I’m so excited to welcome such an extraordinary group of women to Shine Away’s third year,” Witherspoon said in a statement. “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. It’s an honor to celebrate our third year surrounded by so much creativity and joy.”
Shine Away’s programming will touch on all aspects of the Hello Sunshine portfolio, including Reese’s Book Club, The Home Edit, The Hello Sunshine Collective, Sunnie, Drop of Sunshine, The Bright Side and Bookmarked podcasts, as well as the company’s hit film, television and music projects. AT&T serves as presenting sponsor of the two-day experience, and tickets are available here.
Previous Shine Away participants include Laura Dern, Octavia Spencer, Olivia Munn, Amanda Kloots, comedian Heather McMahan, Jennifer Garner, Mindy Kaling and Tracee Ellis Ross.
