The Global Sports Venture Studio is proud to present GSVS Talks, a series of conversations with our studio partners and the innovators who are collaborating to shape the future of sports. To learn more and get notified about upcoming events, subscribe to The Rundown.

In 2020, women made up 47% of highly engaged, passionate sports fans, yet at the same time, female fans continue to be overlooked by brands. While strides have been made to close the gender gap in sports coverage, sponsorship, and fandom, we must continue to push industry leaders to strengthen their commitment to advance women in sports as athletes and fans. 

This event featured some of the people leading the fight for gender equity in sports through technology, programs, and advocacy and shine a light on why the future is female.
