(above) The group of digital divas take a Yoga class at Crescent Park in Santa Monica during the summit. The summit consisted of 88 female executives who  came from Disney, Fox, Beyond Interactive, Stardom, Deutsch, Initiative, Mindshare, MTV, AOL, iFilm, Yahoo! and Sony  for a day of surfing, yoga and collaboration. Marian Thomas, founder of Digital Diva, wanted to create a place where women in the media community can share experiences, gain insights of the industry and network and just have a good time. "I was tired of the boys' network and organizations that require high fees and exclusion depending on job title. This group is not exclusionary and anyone can join, from interns and assistants to VPs and Presidents. In fact the more diverse in experience, the better."
