​​Captain Dawn Riley presented our Keynote on Friday, November 6 at 5:00 pm. Dawn Riley was the first woman to manage an America's Cup sailing team. She has raced on four America’s Cup and two Whitbread (now The Ocean Race) teams. Dawn now runs Oakcliff Sailing Center, which provides opportunities for participants to do many levels of inshore and offshore racing.  Based in Oyster Bay, NY, Oakcliff hosts sailors from around the world and trains them to work and sail at the highest levels of the sport.

​Tracy Edwards, captain of Maiden, opened our Saturday, November 7 session at 1:00 pm
. Tracy Edwards was Skipper of Maiden,  the all-woman boat, top competitor in the Whitbread Around the World race in 1989-1990, and subject of the recent documentary Maiden. Tracy and members of the current crew regaled us with stories and updated us on efforts to educate girls around the world through their current project The Maiden Factor. ​

All expert presenters are women, and our focus is on encouraging and inspiring women sailors, but because we had room for more people in a virtual event, we welcomed male participants to join women and teenage girls at the 2020 online event.
