In Chicago, sports have always been part of the city’s identity. But today, their role is expanding — from cultural touchpoints to strategic platforms to economic impact engines.
This conversation convenes a powerful group of leaders across ownership, athletics, business, and civic institutions to explore how sport is shaping the city’s identity — and what that means for those leading within it.
From the rise of women’s professional sports to the growing influence of global brands and athlete voices, this conversation examines how sport drives connection, builds community, and creates new pathways for impact.
This is a conversation about more than just the game. It’s about how sport is being used — and what leadership looks like when the platform is this powerful.
