Shannon Rowbury

Olympic medalist, broadcaster and author

Shannon Rowbury is an Olympic medalist, Emmy Award-winning broadcaster and fifth-generation San Franciscan whose story blends elite performance, resilience and hard-won perspective. She is the first American woman to medal in the Olympic 1,500 meters, awarded a bronze only after a remarkable years-long fight for justice in sport. Shannon brings audiences practical, research-backed tools for performing under pressure, staying grounded in high-stakes moments and leading with purpose. She will finally be formally presented her medal in a ceremony at the LA 2028 Olympics — 14 years after running the race that earned it.

Shannon Rowbury will be a speaker at Northstar Meetings Group's Destination California from Aug. 30 - Sept. 1, 2026.
