Ahead of the launch of this year’s Pollstar Live! conference, an invite-only group of industry executives gathered on Monday evening to celebrate Pollstar’s Women Of Live 2025 honorees. The WOL Reception, which was presented by Live Nation Women, took place at The Beverly Hilton’s Wilshire Garden in Beverly Hills, California, April 14. Sponsors of the event included Yaamava’ Resort & Casino and Drop Of Sunshine.
The event was hosted by Francesca Bodie, Chief Operating Officer at Oak View Group (Pollstar‘s parent company); Lucy Dickins, Global Head of Contemporary Music & Touring at WME; and Lesley Olenik, SVP of Global Touring at Live Nation. All three women are Women Of Live 2025 honorees. The evening featured specialty cocktails, lots of appetizers and a station to create your own custom cowboy (or trucker) hat, along with plenty of laughter, networking and good energy.
