TheWrap has opened submissions for the 2022 Innovators List. The annual and highly anticipated event recognizes 10-15 individuals who are disrupting the status quo and sparking change within their industry.

The list will be published in conjunction with TheGrill, WrapPRO’s annual business conference, which will culminate with a panel and reception honoring this year’s innovators on Wednesday, Oct. 12 in Los Angeles.
