Whether you’re navigating the healthcare industry, entrepreneurship, or your own career journey, this is your opportunity to gain the tools and inspiration needed to lead fearlessly and create lasting impact.

It’s time to play to win.

Keynote Speaker:

Jennifer Langton, MBA, Former SVP, NFL

At the intersection of leadership, innovation and resilience, women are redefining the game-on and off the field.  In this dynamic keynote, Jennifer Langton, former Senior Vice President of the National Football League, will take the stage to share powerful insights on what it takes to be a true game changer.  Drawing from her experience at the NFL, where she spearheaded groundbreaking initiatives in player health and safety, Jennifer will discuss how data, technology, and bold decision-making are shaping the future - not just in sports, but in healthcare, entrepreneurship, and leadership.
