SOLD OUT: Inspired: Designing for Women in PNW Sports

There is rapid expansion happening in women’s sports facilities in Portland and the Pacific Northwest!

With the top-performing Thorns drawing loyal crowds, the new WNBA Fire ready to blaze, and women’s softball team, the Portland Cascade, launching this year, Portland is becoming known as the epicenter of women’s sports. Outside of Portland, the Seattle Storm and OSU’s field sports are also benefiting from new facilities.

Just to add a little sizzle to the mix, when The Sports Bra opened in 2022, it was the country’s first sports bar dedicated exclusively to women’s sports and there are plans to expand across the country.

On Tuesday, April 7, you’ll have a chance to hear from a stacked panel of experts on the design of spaces for some of these star teams.

• Moderator: Natasha Reyes, Sport Oregon
• Carissa Barry, Populous
• Emily Carlip, Holmes
• Kristina Thomsen, ZGF Architects

Come see Populous’s new space downtown, enjoy mingling and light hors d’oeuvres, and hear the exciting stories of how our region is prioritizing women’s achievements!
