NEW YORK, N.Y. – BIG EAST Commissioner Val Ackerman will be a speaker at the fourth annual Sports Business Journal Game Changers Conference on Sept. 15, held at the New York Marriott Marquis in Times Square.
The Game Changers Conference is a one-day event that will focus on the multiple ways in which women intersect with sports. Built into the program are ample networking opportunities, including a networking reception at the conclusion of the event where the current year’s honorees will be recognized.
Ackerman’s featured panel is called “From the C-Suite: Leadership, Perseverance and the Growing Role of Women in Sports Business,” focusing on multiple ways in which women intersect with sports, why it is important to have women represented at all tiers within an organization and how the industry as a whole can perform better on the diversity front.
