About the Event 📋

This May, the Adventure Society’s Fireside Chat features Hayley Blum, whose work at SailGP lives at the intersection of commercial growth, innovation, and impact. SailGP describes its ambition as becoming the world’s most sustainable and purpose-driven global sports and entertainment platform, and initiatives like its Impact League are designed to put sustainability and inclusion at the heart of sport. 

​In this intimate conversation, we’ll explore what it looks like to grow a modern sports property in a competitive landscape and why the strongest brands and teams don’t treat purpose as a side project. We’ll talk about how momentum is built, how bold ideas earn traction, and why courage, adaptability, and clarity matter when you’re pushing something new into the world.

​We’ll also dive into:

  • ​How SailGP is scaling as a fast-rising global sports league

  • ​What it takes to build commercial momentum around a disruptive idea

  • ​Why performance and purpose are strongest when integrated from the beginning

  • ​How sustainability and DEI can become part of growth strategy, not an afterthought

  • ​What leaders can learn from operating in high-speed, high-change environments

​The Fireside Chat series is the Adventure Society’s gathering point for thoughtful conversation, genuine connection, and the kind of ideas that stay with you long after the night ends. Hosted inside Amundsen Sports’ SoHo store, this evening is designed to bring together members and guests who are energized by adventure, leadership, and building meaningful things in the world.
