WOMEN IN ATHLETE DEVELOPMENT
SYMPOSIUM & NETWORKING EVENT
About the Event - Why You Should Join Us!
Our exclusive and engaging professional development and virtual networking experience will take place on April 12-13, 2023. Our previous events have been widely recognized for successfully preparing women to achieve leadership positions in the growing field of athlete development.
Since the inception of the event in 2019, over 250 women seeking to enter and advance in the sports industry have gained valuable knowledge, insight, advice, and mentorship from nationally respected women leaders. Currently, over forty-five percent of those attendees have taken advantage of this knowledge and their newly enhanced network to achieve their desired career position educating, developing, and transitioning athletes.
Led by a diverse group of industry experts and respected practitioners, this year’s event will recognize and celebrate women leaders in the field of athlete development and focus on the leadership challenges of organizations to address the unique needs of the female athlete.
