The Sunday Times to host Level the Playing Field panel event
On Wednesday 15th March 2023, The Sunday Times will host a special panel event, Level the Playing Field - Investing in Women’s Sport, in association with Citi at The News Building in London
With a year of record-breaking success for women’s sport behind us, this panel will discuss investing in women’s sport and the challenges it faces socially, commercially and financially, from grassroots through to the most elite competition.
From dialogues on what can be learned from the Lionesses success ahead of the Women’s Six Nations, to the power of ambassadors in building new audiences - this event will look at the support required to achieve parity with men’s support financially and commercially, and examine the growth of fan support as a driving force for funding and sponsorship.
Hear from speakers including:
- Lauren Steadman MBE, Current Paralympic Triathlon Champion and Citi sport ambassador
Dame Denise Lewis, Former Olympic Champion, Presenter, Broadcaster and President of Commonwealth Games England - Sue Anstiss MBE, Author & Co-founder of the Women’s Sport Collective
- Rachael Burford, Harlequins & former England Rugby player
- Jessica Hayden, Digital Sports Sub-Editor at The Times
