Breaking Waves: Harnessing the Power of Sport

Mar 10, 2025

2:30pm – 3:30pm CT

The event would highlight Jessi’s role as the first female World Surf League Commissioner, for a thought-provoking discussion on the growth, challenges, and future of women’s professional surfing. We would aim to highlight the leagues evolution, gender equity in sports, athlete development and the impact of surfing on global culture. With Australia as a global surfing powerhouse, the conversation could spotlight Australia’s influence on the sport and the role of Aussie athletes in shaping the leagues success.
