The Power of Women’s Sports Summit presented by e.l.f. Beauty is produced by Billie Jean King Enterprises and celebrates the Billie Jean King Cup by Gainbridge™ and the global impact of women’s sports.
The inaugural summit was held in Málaga, Spain, in 2024 alongside the Billie Jean King Cup Finals. In 2025, it was hosted in London, England, a nod to where the BJK Cup (then known as the Federation Cup) first debuted in 1963.
Now, the third edition will take place in New York City during the US Open, when the city becomes a global hotspot for tennis. Together, we will shine a spotlight on the progress, power, and opportunities being unlocked across women’s sports, by both the business leaders shaping the industry and the athletes driving it forward.
GIVE ME THE BALL!  is a feature-length documentary about Billie Jean King. Woven together with rare archival footage and a candid interview with King herself, the film tells a powerful story that inspires the next generation of change-makers and champions alike.
