The UNMATCHED: Gender Equity in Sports Conference is part of Tennis Canada and National Bank’s Game. Set. Equity. (GSE) commitment, an ambitious and holistic strategy that focuses on how the federation will advance gender equity at all levels of the tennis ecosystem.
Taking place on Tuesday, August 5, attendees can expect an all-new experience this year as the event is relocating to the VIP Lounge presented by Audi at Sobeys Stadium, the site of the world-renowned National Bank Open presented by Rogers during the tournament’s “Championship Week”. This year’s theme is Stronger Together, as we recognize the important role of unity and allies in making meaningful change for women and girls in sport.
There will be an exclusive opportunity for some guests to take part in behind-the-scenes tours of Sobeys Stadium on the day of the tournament’s high-anticipated quarter-finals. The overall program will delve into impactful and meaningful topics, from investment and policy to grassroots impact to personal leadership and action — giving attendees a full-spectrum view of how change happens in sport.
University of South Carolina Women’s Basketball Head Coach and leading gender equity advocate Dawn Staley is this year’s keynote speaker.
