10:45 AM – 11:30 AM – The Ascent of Women’s Sports
The popularity of women’s sports continues to grow as the popularity of events like the UEFA Women’s Euros, the WNBA’s growing influence both socially and athletically, and new upstart professional sports leagues can attest. And in 2026 that will only continue with events like the Winter Olympics added into the mix. Leaders in production discuss how their organizations are improving their coverage of women’s sports.
