Olympic champion Katie Taylor and Beth Alford-Sullivan on a panel at the 2026 Mid-Summer Summit for women in sport leadership

The room

A room that does not need explaining.

Most rooms in this profession ask women to translate. This one does not. For one day a year the whole room shares the same starting point, which means the conversation starts where it usually stops.

Expect speakers who have led at the highest level, working sessions rather than lectures, and a day built so that you leave knowing people rather than collecting business cards.

In Their Words

“It was refreshing to pull back the curtain and hear the stories that don’t always make it into leadership bios or resumes.”

Taryn Sheehan
Founder, Coach, and Advocate for Women in Leadership

“Being a speaker at Let’s Go was an honor! As a professional boxer, I know what it means to fight for your dreams, push through challenges, and refuse to quit.”

Katie Taylor
Olympic Gold Medalist, Boxing

“Time spent on women supporting women is invaluable, and the leadership at Let’s Go does an incredible job fostering friendship, fellowship, and professional growth.”

Melissa Stoll
Head Coach, Women’s Track & Field / Cross Country, Southern Connecticut State University

Who you will be in the room with.

Beth Alford-Sullivan

FOUNDER AND DIRECTOR
Director of Track & Field and Cross Country, UConn
As a longtime NCAA coach who has been named Coach of the Year more than 50 times, I had the vision to create Let’s Go: a space dedicated to women, because I believe empowered women empower women.
Celeste Blackman

PRESENTER
Co-founder, The Green Zone Culture Group
As the landscape of women’s sport continues to evolve, so must our commitment to supporting one another, building strong alliances, and leading in ways that break old patterns and open new doors. Together, we can change the game — not just for ourselves, but for generations to come.
Katie Taylor

SPECIAL GUEST
Olympic Gold Medalist, Boxing
Let’s Go is a platform that focuses on success for women in sport. I don’t measure success by titles or accolades, but by the testimony within and by knowing I left it all in the ring. That’s the trophy that no one can take from me. Let’s work together toward embracing your journey of success.
Dr. Bonnie Edmondson

PRESENTER
Ex Officio Chair, USATF
I start each practice with the quote, “It’s a good day to get better.” Participating in Let’s Go is no exception. It is a privilege to join such esteemed professionals empowering each other to be great coaches and effective leaders. Join our conversation and walk away with the best insight.
Kathleen Raske

PRESENTER
Head Coach, New Mexico Junior College
Let’s Go is a great platform for women to connect, collaborate, and create conversation on topics that matter! These topics will take you to a place you haven’t been before. You will tackle complex questions that help you understand your role in the ever-changing culture of sport.
Hannah Jefcoat

PRESENTER
We live in a world and culture that is ever-changing, and as women we must be at the forefront of those changes. Let’s Go is a huge resource for how women can make that happen.
