Empowering the future of sports industry leadership

Join the NEW ERA Community!

"The most important responsibility we have as women leaders is to lift up the next generation of women."

Heidi Browning, CMO, National Hockey League

What is NEW ERA?

SportsPro NEW ERA is a year-round programme designed to recognise, support and advocate for a new era of gender equality and representation within the international sports industry.

We want to bring new ideas, underappreciated thinkers and future leaders to the forefront and elevate their profiles. We will provide a global platform and ongoing community support, powered by a diverse Steering Group of inspirational and accomplished women with unrivalled experience.

Despite progress being made, there is still a small pool of regular female contributors to the global b2b sports industry conversation. We intend to widen and deepen this from within. Twelve successful female applicants will benefit from year-round editorial, event, and networking opportunities, as well as dedicated coaching time with every member of the Steering Group.

SportsPro’s unique network of influence affords us the opportunity and responsibility to help shape the future landscape of the sports industry and empower the women who will steer it.

Applications are now closed for 2023/24. Thank you to everyone that applied.

"I like to think that the sports industry is moving albeit slowly towards gender equality. Hopefully this pattern will gain momentum."

Jane Hansom, Head of Communications, Professional Triathletes Organisation

"Without more women in senior leadership positions, inherent
and seemingly universal
obstacles will not be seen,
understood, and tackled."
