ABOUT

Coming off of a record-breaking, ratings-busting, zeitgeist-disrupting 2024 in women's sports, the 2025 Business of Women’s Sports Summit will focus on the future of the industry, delivering programming that educates and inspires, using tangible insights learned by those paving new paths in this space that can be widely applied to sustain and support the hype and consumer demand generated by women’s sports.

This year we are going all in on subject matter expertise, deep dives on singular topics, and case study examples to provide attendees with a master class on the business of women’s sports.

Specifically, the Summit will dive into what’s needed moving forward, what infrastructure and resources are required, how do we sustain, expand, and monetize this growth, as well as the ever-pressing question, what will it cost?

Of course, there will also be surprise appearances and breaking news - we can’t wait to see you there.

Join us for the Business of Women’s Sports Summit because women’s sports means business in 2025 and beyond.
