Rebecca Campbell, president of the ABC Owned Television Stations Group, and HBO Entertainment President Sue Naegle have joined the lineup of featured speakers at B&C’s 2nd annual “Keynotes & Cocktails: Women of Hollywood” event set for July 13 at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel.

“Women of Hollywood” is an off-therecord, afternoon networking cocktail hour (or three) featuring candid Q&As with top female figures from the TV, media and entertainment industry.

B&C launched “Women of Hollywood” last summer, featuring conversations with Disney/ABC’s Anne Sweeney, CBS’ Nina Tassler, Grey’s Anatomy/Private Practice’s Shonda Rhimes and others.

And in April 2011, B&C’s “Keynotes & Cocktails: Women of New York” premiered, featuring speakers Rachael Ray, Glenn Close, ZenithOptimedia USA’s Peggy Green, Mediavest USA’s Pam Zucker, Rainbow’s Arlene Manos and broadcasters Erin Andrews, Maria Bartiromo and Gayle King.

Naegle, who will be a featured panelist in the roundtable discussion “Reinvent Yourself,” was named president, HBO Entertainment, in April 2008. In her role, she oversees all original series programming and specials. Before joining HBO, Naegle was a partner and co-head of the TV department at United Talent Agency. She became the youngest agent ever to make partner, at age 29.

While at UTA, Naegle oversaw the packaging of many successful series, including HBO’s Six Feet Under and True Blood. Since joining HBO, she has overseen production of Hung, Bored to Death, Treme, Boardwalk Empire, Game of Thrones and the upcoming Luck, Enlightened, Veep and Girls, among others.

Campbell, who will be a featured panelist in the roundtable discussion “Keys to Confidence,” was appointed president of ABC’s stations group in May 2010 after serving as president and general manager of the group’s flagship WABC-TV in New York.

Now based in Burbank, Calif., Campbell has chief management responsibility for the Disney/ABC Television Group’s local TV stations, including outlets in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Houston, Raleigh-Durham and Fresno. Campbell also oversees ABC National Television Sales, a sales rep unit serving the owned stations and outside clients, and Live Well Network, a programming service for emerging digital channels in local markets.

Additional “Women of Hollywood” speakers will be announced.
