SPEAKERS AND SPECIAL GUESTS
KEYNOTE SPEAKER
Venus Williams
We’re excited to announce that seven-time Grand Slam champion. Venus Williams will be heading to Toronto this summer as the keynote speaker.
A champion on the court, with 49 WTA singles titles, 22 doubles titles and four Olympic gold medals, Williams has made an equally significant impact off the court, as a pioneer in the WTA’s drive for equity.
“The fight for equity is close to my heart and will continue to be so long after my tennis career is over.”
-Venus Williams
