Katie Simmonds, Global COO, SIGA, and Managing Director of the SIGAWomen Programme expressed her enthusiasm with the line-up of speakers:
“The fourth edition of the SIGA Summit is our biggest yet, with more partners and increased international participation with delegates travelling across America and from Brazil, Canada, France, Portugal, Qatar, and the UK to join us in New York. This demonstrates the breadth of the global movement SIGAWomen is spearheading, and we thank each one of the speakers and delegates for saying yes! Yes, to uniting efforts to celebrate and showcase the expertise of women leading the sports industry. Yes, to cultural change: more women represented in the board of sports organisations globally to mitigate corruption and drive innovation and commercial success; and yes, to inspiring the next generation of leaders. This Summit is more than a gathering. It is reshaping the future of the sports industry and is what good governance looks like. This is the purpose of the SIGAWomen Summit. I look forward to seeing you there!”
