CWP Women in Sports & Leadership Summit
About this Event
The WSL Summit celebrates leadership, resilience, and the power of women's sports, bringing together accomplished Olympic athletes, executives, agents, advocates, and community leaders for an evening celebrating the extraordinary impact women continue to have on sports and society. The summit will open with a networking cocktail reception, followed by a 45-minute moderated panel conversation featuring an exceptional group of current and former female athletes and those shaping the sports industry today.
Following the panel, enjoy the New York premiere of Mighty Mary, directed by award-winning filmmaker and Olympian Mary Mazzio. Mighty Mary is a riveting documentary about the first-ever all-women's sailing crew to compete for the America's Cup — one of the most elite and exclusive events in international sports. Narrated and executive produced by Elizabeth Banks and Hugh Jackman, and produced in partnership with Skydance Sports, Mighty Mary tells the true story of a team of world-class athletes who were widely dismissed as a publicity stunt — and who went on to stun the sailing world by defeating four-time America's Cup champion Dennis Conner, before a controversial backroom decision upended the outcome. At its core, Mighty Mary is an underdog story about resilience, teamwork, and redefining what's possible in spaces that have historically excluded women.
The screening will be followed by a moderated conversation with the film’s director, Mary Mazzio, and other special guests. Join us for the full night, or feel free to drop in or leave whenever is most convenient for you!
