target="_blank" target="_blank">This is the BIGGEST announcement we’ve EVER HAD. Ladies, pop a bottle and pour that glass of champagne 'cause this is going to blow your minds! Our closing keynote to help propel us into a limitless tomorrow is Emmy-nominated writer, producer, New York Times best-selling author, director and actor, Mindy Kaling! Mindy first made her way into our homes and our hearts playing Kelly Kapoor on the hit NBC TV show, “The Office”. At 24, Mindy joined the writing staff as the only woman, where she also starred as a supporting character and stole every single scene she was in! During her eight seasons on The Office, Mindy wrote 26 episodes and became the first woman of colour to be nominated for an Emmy in any writing category! Mindy once again blazed new profound trails in creating the “The Mindy Project,” which she starred in and executive produced from 2012-2017—the first woman of colour to do so. And as an actor, Mindy has also appeared in many films including “The 40-Year Old Virgin,” “Inside Out,” “A Wrinkle in Time” (alongside Oprah Winfrey and Reese Witherspoon), and as a part of the star-studded cast of “Oceans Eight.” Mindy’s latest release is the critically acclaimed series, “Never Have I Ever” for Netflix, which reached 40 million homes around the world in its first four weeks of release! And it was recently announced that Mindy will write, produce and star in an untitled comedy for Universal opposite Priyanka Chopra and also co-write “Legally Blonde 3”, starring Reese Witherspoon. In 2012, Mindy was named to the Time 100 Most Influential People in the World List. She was honoured with the 2014 Glamour Woman of the Year Award and most recently was a 2019 ELLE Women In Hollywood honoree. In between all of her ventures, Mindy has released two New York Times best-selling comedic memoirs: “Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns)” in 2011 and “Why Not Me” in 2015. Mindy’s humour, confidence and ambition has fuelled her boundless success, all while inspiring women from all over the world, and we cannot contain our excitement in having her as our final keynote of BEYOND 2020! Put the champagne on ice—is it November yet?!
