VenuesNow’s 2020 Women of Influence honorees.
VenuesNow, the sports and entertainment facility industry’s premier trade publication, today announced its 2020 Women of Influence honorees.

The 10 honorees are voted on by subscribers with one editor’s choice.
With C-suite level executives, as well as EVPs, Directors, GMs and more, the leadership, success and sheer firepower of VenuesNow’s 2020 Women of Influence list this year more than ever transcends categorization.
“Women of Influence is a tremendous tradition at VenuesNow, and we’re proud to continue it with our biggest class ever,” Rob Knapp, VenuesNow’s managing editor said in a statement. “We know readers will enjoy and learn from our honorees’ stories, their accomplishments and their plans to lead their organizations and the industry toward better days.”
