Think Sport 2023: female leaders & decision makers at the Maison du Handball in Créteil, 03/10/2023
The seventh edition of Think Sport, an annual event organised by News Tank since 2017, will take place on Tuesday 03/10/2023 at the Maison du Handball in Créteil (south east of Paris, FRA).
After the 2022 edition, hosted at the Fédération Française de Football headquarters and devoted to the World Cup in Qatar and the latest developments in French football, News Tank is delighted to once again be bringing together a large number of players from the ecosystem for a day of reflection and meetings, during which the floor will be given to female sports leaders, decision-makers and entrepreneurs.
Governance, changes in broadcasting, the development of sport through inclusion, the growth of women's professional competitions and a renewal of the economic model for leagues and federations are just some of the topics that will be addressed by the speakers, starting with Marie-George Buffet, former French Minister for Sport, co-chair of the national committee to strengthen ethics and democratic life in sport and ambassador for Think Sport 2023.
One of the highlights of this Think Sport for women event will be the presentation of four trophies: the Inspirational Personality trophy, as well as three Next Gen trophies which will be awarded successively to a young female leader, a young female entrepreneur and for the successful professional transition of a former sportswoman.
