Celebrating & Elevating Women in Sports

Celebrating Women for 15 Years


Join us for a milestone year of Game Changers as we celebrate our 15th class of Game Changers honorees. Since the program's founding in 2011, Sports Business Journal has recognized nearly 600 women who have profoundly impacted the sports industry through leadership, mentorship and innovation.

The Game Changers Evening of Celebration will take place on September 24. It will provide the Game Changers Class of 2025, their guests, colleagues and conference attendees with an evening dedicated to recognizing the honorees and toasting them over an elevated cocktail reception. The reception also provides an incredible opportunity to network with some of the industry’s most influential leaders.

In light of the milestone anniversary, we are excited to host an exclusive pre-ceremony reception for past Game Changers honorees, allowing this prestigious group of women to reunite and reconnect. Past honorees can request more information by filling out this form.

Elevating Women


The 13th Game Changers conference will be held on September 25 from 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM and will examine topics at the intersection of women and sports.
