Welcome to the GIS Spark-Women in Sport Society Launch Event!

Join us as GIS proudly launches its Women in Sport Society – GIS Spark. Bringing together students, staff, alumni, and industry professionals, we are a community that celebrates and elevates women in sport.

This event provides a fantastic opportunity to learn, network, and build connections with like-minded individuals who share your passion for the industry and tackling systemic barriers.
