SPORTS PR SUMMIT WELCOMES MORGAN STANLEY GLOBAL SPORTS & ENTERTAINMENT AS ITS EXCLUSIVE FINANCIAL SPONSOR

New York , NY (May 9, 2022) – The Sports PR Summit (@SportsPRSummit), an invite-only event that brings together senior PR and digital media executives, sports reporters, professional athletes and industry influencers for dynamic panels and conversations, announced today that Morgan Stanley Global Sports & Entertainment (GSE) will join as its Exclusive Financial Sponsor.  

Through its sponsorship, Morgan Stanley GSE will host the Sports PR Summit’s Networking Lunch and VIP Green Room during the annual event. 

Sandra L. Richards, Head of Global Sports & Entertainment and Segment Sales & Engagement at Morgan Stanley, will participate in an on-stage panel conversation, titled “The 50^th Anniversary of Title IX – The State of Women’s Sports” at this year’s event. She’ll be joined by Hilary Knight OLY, Team USA Hockey, Olympic Gold Medalist, World Champion and ESPN NHL Analyst; Haley Rosen, Founder/CEO of Just Women’s Sports; and Jasmine Jordan, Women’s Sports at Jordan Brand and the daughter of Michael Jordan. Erin Kane, Vice President of Women’s Sports at Excel Sports Management, will moderate the discussion. The segment will begin at 11am EST. 

“Morgan Stanley is the leader when it comes to financial services and wealth management,” said Brian Berger, Founder and CEO of the Sports PR Summit. “Having Sandra on stage at our event to participate in an important conversation around the state of women’s sports, is also a great addition to our lineup. We greatly appreciate Morgan Stanley’s partnership with the Sports PR Summit.”

Morgan Stanley Global Sports & Entertainment is a division of Morgan Stanley Wealth Management dedicated to serving the unique and sophisticated needs of professional athletes, entertainers, executives, creators and other top professionals in the sports and entertainment industry.

“The impact of Title IX cannot be overstated,” said Richards. “The importance of equal opportunity for women and girls goes far beyond the lines of competition. What a young girl learns and experiences through Sport can take them through adulthood – from the classroom to the boardroom and everywhere in between and beyond. The empowerment that we’re seeing exemplified more and more today is the ultimate mission, though there’s still more work to be done. I’m delighted to partake in this discussion about such an integral topic that has shaped my personal and professional journey over the years.”

The 2022 Sports PR Summit will be held on Tuesday, May 17, 2022 at Canoe Studios in New York City.
