Welcome to our second annual Women in Baseball Conference, sponsored by SABR and the International Women’s Baseball Center, and hosted by Rockford University.
This year’s conference will be a virtual event centered around the theme “Celebrating African American Women in Baseball.” Presentations and panels will take place over three days on September 11-13, 2020.
In addition to learning about topics such as the Dolly Vardens, Maud Nelson, Tillie Ford, the Hagerstown Mollys, and much more, there will also be a celebration of the Negro Leagues Centennial on Saturday night, with a special design unveiling for an outdoor pylon.
Our featured speaker on Friday night will be Lauren Meyer, Emmy Award-nominated director of The Other Boys of Summer.
