Women’s sport is finally beginning to receive the attention it deserves, but behind the headlines lies a complex landscape of challenges and opportunities, from fragmented fan data to the urgent need for better player health support. In this fireside chat, we're joined by leaders at the heart of that transformation, including Fiona McIntyre, Managing Director, Scottish Women's Premier League.
In this conversation, we'll explore how Scottish sport is building for scale: tackling visibility, unlocking the power of fan and commercial data, and moving from reactive to systemic approaches to women's health in sport. Whether you're a founder, investor, or just passionate about the future of the game, come for the conversation, leave with a sharper view of where women's sport is headed.
