From the NFL’s press release.

The NFL will host the fifth annual Women’s Careers in Football Forum virtually Feb. 24-25 as part of its ongoing commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. The Forum will connect 40 women, 75% of whom are women of color, with leaders in professional football to help those women network and build relationships in the areas of coaching, scouting and football operations.

Due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the conference will be held virtually this year. This is the fifth year of the conference.
