The Club Workshop: Leaders Week

This year, to herald the growth of Leaders Club, the Club’s flagship Workshop will kick-start Leaders Week on Tuesday, 30 September at a new, central London location. Featuring a full day of practical skills, high level interviews with some of the industry’s leading voices, and an opportunity to connect in person with other members from around the world, the Workshop at Leaders Week is one to get in your calendar early.

The acceleration of women’s sport continues to dominate discussion amongst the members of Leaders Club, so we’re thrilled to confirm the Commissioner of the National Women’s Soccer League, Jessica Berman, as the headline speaker for the Leaders Club Workshop.

Under Berman’s leadership, during the 2024 season – the first under the league’s record-breaking media rights agreement with CBS Sports, ESPN, Prime Video and Scripps Sports – the NWSL experienced record-breaking viewership and attendance, topping 2 million fans for the first time and marking the third straight year the league surpassed 1 million in total attendance.

Covering a career spanning over two decades, Jessica will share her extensive leadership experience in fast growth, rapidly changing environments like the National Hockey League and National Lacrosse League, as well as the NWSL.

To accommodate the growth in membership of Leaders Club, the flagship Workshop will kick-start Leaders Week on Tuesday and become a firm addition to the calendar. Members who meet the criteria for attendance and would like to register an interest in participating in the Summit at Allianz Stadium on Wednesday 1 and Thursday 2 October, will receive a preferential rate specific to members.
