The Cleveland Power of Sport Summit is a free public event that will celebrate themes of diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) and demonstrate the power of sport to be a catalyst for positive change. The three-day event will be held in conjunction with the 2021 NFL Draft.
The goals of the Cleveland Power of Sport Summit are to allow attendees to explore new ideas, embrace differences and enact positive change in the communities they represent. To achieve these goals, the Summit will feature local and national organizations addressing topics related to adaptive sports, gender equity, LGBTQIA+ athletes, mental health and racial equality.
The Summit will feature four learning zones, including the Equality Lounge powered by the Cleveland Browns, Greater Cleveland Sports Commission, Velocity, and The Female Quotient, Digital Learning Lounge, Community Corner and Workshops, Demos and Exhibits presented by University Hospitals.
