The commercial moment for women's sport is now.
The growth is documented. The appetite is there. What the industry has been missing is a dedicated space where the right people find each other, make the case and close the deal.
The same questions that defined the early women's health conversation - how to invest in an industry the mainstream had ignored - are now the defining questions in sport. The Women’s Sport Summit exists to answer them, and make the deals happen.
Women's sport is projected to surpass $3 billion in annual revenue by 2026 - more than340% growth since 2022 - yet still represents less than 1% of the global sport industry, signalling enormous room for continued expansion. Source
