SPEEDWAY QUEENS LIVE!
Speedway Queens Live! | Women in Sports and Business
F1 week in Austin has always had its paddocks, its parties, and late-night events, and most of them were built by men, for men. Speedway Queens Live! is the women-run answer. Join us on Thursday morning of race week at LOREN Hotel for breakfast, bubbly, and a live, talk-show-style conversation with women shaping sports and business. Then we hand you the wheel.
WHAT'S ON THE GRID
🏁 Breakfast & Bar Start race week right, with a curated breakfast and welcome drink as you arrive.
🎙️ The Live Show An unscripted, talk-show-style conversation with women who have broken into sports and business on their own terms. Expect real stories about getting in the room, staying in it, and changing who these industries are built for.
Hosted by Bianca Parato Featuring Dr. Jen Welter, the first woman to coach in the NFL. Before she made history with the Arizona Cardinals, Jen made it right here in Texas, as the first woman to play running back in men's pro football with the Texas Revolution. She's a two-time Team USA gold medalist, holds a PhD in sport psychology, and is the author of Play Big. More guests coming soon.
🏎️ Sim Zone Get behind the wheel of a professional racing simulator and chase the title of Fastest Woman in the Room on our live leaderboard.
🧠 Pole Position Trivia A fast, fun game show where the audience plays and prizes are on the line. 🥂 Paddock Hour Close the morning by connecting with founders, executives, and tastemakers who love this sport as much as you do. RACING FOR A CAUSE A portion of every ticket benefits Dress for Success Austin, supporting women as they enter and advance in the workforce.
