Women’s Sport Superpanel – The Time Is Now
Women’s equality in sports has been a substantial topic in recent years. Yet, it took a global pandemic for the world to finally give women’s sports the opportunity to shine and show its value. From increases in WNBA and NWSL viewership and social media engagement, to the Women’s Evolution taking WWE by storm, female sport is taking center stage—and they have the data to back it up, courtesy of the Sports Innovation Lab’s unprecedented “The Fan Project” report. Moderated by Sports innovation Lab CEO & four-time Olympian Angela Ruggiero, WWE Chief Brand Officer Stephanie McMahon, NWSL Commissioner Lisa Baird and Nike’s VP Women Global Sports Marketing Tanya Hvizdak discuss how women’s sports leagues around the world are growing in influence and inspiring change.

Not Just Breaking Through, but Breaking Up!
In most companies, 40-60% of middle managers are female. Yet only 25% currently make it through to the top tier of management. Two senior women who defied the odds and broke through the middle to earn seats in the C-Suite -- Marta Cyhan-Bowles, Chief Marketing Officer at Catalina, and Jamie Power, Chief Data Officer and Chief Operating Officer of Advanced TV at Cadent -- lead this conversation to offer candid advice around ascending the corporate ladder. Together they’ll provide key aspirational advice on doing your homework, maximizing your networking, and making sure you’re not just seen, but heard within your organization.

Elevating Women Into Leadership
Gender equality in the workplace has become an issue top of mind for today's business leaders. And, while we'd all like to believe things have continued to improve over the years, recent insights reveal otherwise. A study by IBM released on International Women’s Day challenges the assumption that we're growing closer to gender equality at work. According to the data, the number of women on executive boards and in C-suite positions hasn’t budged since 2019, while the pipeline to these senior levels actually may be shrinking. Fewer women hold titles like SVP, VP, Director and Manager in 2021 than they did in 2019. The report also found that just 30% of junior female managers reported having sponsors or mentors, further diminishing prospects for advancement.
In this session, Facebook's VP Global Partnership Management and Business Development, Christine Warner, will lead an engaging discussion on the critical importance of elevating women into leadership, and steps businesses can take today to commit to closing the gap.

Lisa Utzschneider, Chief Executive Officer, Integral Ad Science
