The award will honor a rising female star in sports tech, ranging from league\/team employees to tech companies operating in sports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The announcement generated much buzz at the event, with both the applause garnered and conversation sparked afterward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next League has also committed a $10,000 donation to the Women\u2019s Sports Foundation, specifically targeted in supporting their efforts to support women in STEM. WSF CEO Danette Leighton said in a statement to SBJ that the contribution from Next League will \u201chelp us continue to build a future where all girls and women can play, compete and lead -- in sports and beyond -- without barriers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nugent said he looks forward to Next League\u2019s award coming online next year and the future chances to help diversify the STEM and sports industry spaces through the platform that SBJ Tech Week provides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is a perfect opportunity for us to tell that story that we tell, and because it\u2019s so broadly in sports because we\u2019re not selling a product,\u201d Nugent said at SBJ Tech Week. \u201cIt\u2019s really just how can we strategically -- and even from an execution standpoint, support sports organizations.
