As a continuation of last week’s announcement of our Women with Drive IV – Driven by Mobil 1 Day One speakers and panelists, we’re excited to announce our Day Two lineup!
Women in Motorsports North America (WIMNA) is holding its fourth annual Women with Drive – Driven by Mobil 1 (WWD IV) Summit on December 10th and 11th, preceding the PRI Show in Indianapolis. The green flag will wave with the “Breakfast at the Brickyard” sponsored by the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Tuesday, December 10, then move to the Indiana Convention Center at 1 p.m. to kick off the Summit that will continue with a full-day agenda on December 11th. Pre-registration and a sold-out Indianapolis Motor Speedway and race shop tour will take place on Monday, December 9th.
A day and a half of sessions with over 50 panel keynotes, speakers, award announcements, and much more are on the agenda for this year’s Summit. While speakers and panelists will fill the agenda on both days, we’ve decided to release the list for each day separately to help focus on the incredible importance of each day.
