New SPORTEL Event Promotes Industry Women
October 10, 2024
For the first time, SPORTEL will present a networking lunch championing women in the sports business industry.
In collaboration with Amazon Web Services, SPORTEL will be hosting a special event celebrating the trailblazing women who are shaping the future of the sports media industry.
In a traditionally male-dominated field, the initiative shines a well-deserved spotlight on the achievements, leadership, and future projects of these inspiring women.
“A couple of years ago, clients took the initiative to gather the ‘women of SPORTEL’ for a breakfast,” said Micheline Van Puymbroeck, the commercial and marketing director of SPORTEL. “We understood the need for this type of event, so we decided to support this movement and organize our own lunch championing women in sports media. We’re very lucky to get the support of AWS for the event.”
The gathering will take place on Tuesday, October 29, from 12-2 pm at the Twiga restaurant in the Grimaldi Forum.
The setting means that SPORTEL attendees will not have to go outside the main event venue to enjoy the lunch and listen to an inspirational group of female leaders in the business discussing ‘How Awesome Women Are Driving Innovation in Sports.’
The panel session from 12:30-1 pm will be moderated by Julie Souza of AWS.
She will be joined on stage by
- Melissa Lawton of Sail GP
- Aarti Daba of Formula E
- Diana Ustymenko of Sportradar.
Both men and women are welcome to attend.
The aim of the lunch is to empower and create visibility for female professionals while offering a platform for networking and collaboration.
“By championing the success stories of today, SPORTEL hopes to inspire the next generation of women in sports media,” Van Puymbroeck said. “This landmark event marks a crucial step towards a more inclusive and diverse industry.”
