  • Develop solutions to increase and sustain women's presence and leadership in triathlon events and the business of triathlon.

Attendees of Outspoken include:
  • age group triathletes
  • professional triathletes
  • coaches
  • industry professionals
  • race organisers
  • members of the media 
  • YOU! 

What is Outspoken?
Outspoken is an opportunity for women in triathlon to connect with like-minded women, hear from industry leaders, and develop leadership skills related to their role in triathlon. The summit will provide a rich forum that will help develop strong voices, inspire others and advocate for change in the sport you love. Together, summit attendees will work to elevate women's triathlon and women in the business of triathlon through partnership, community, a focus on solutions, and skill development.

Why Outspoken?
There is a noticeable gap between triathlon and women: women are still underrepresented in the sport and in the sport's leadership positions. We decided this continued inequity needs to be addressed. We want to bring together women's voices in triathlon to engage in discussion, learning, and strategy development. The Summit will provide women with both individual leadership skills as well as drive a coordinated approach to gender equity in triathlon. Our voices are stronger when woven together. The Summit strives to amplify our voices and to enact real and sustained change in the sport. 

When and Where?
The 2018 Outspoken Women in Triathlon Summit presented by Triathlete Magazine was held November 30th-December 2nd, 2018 in Tempe, Arizona. If you have questions, or would like to sponsor the 2019 Outspoken Summit, please contact us at info@shiftsports.org.
