Leaders Meet: Innovation is a brand new, private, invitation-only event carefully curated for 400 of the most senior leaders in the professional sports industry with the ambition to catalyse growth in their businesses. The event will be held at 180 Studios in Central London on Tuesday 8 and Wednesday 9 April 2025.
The Chatham House forum is designed to enable executives to participate, rather than be passive, and together navigate the macro-economic and societal shifts defining the future of sports and business growth over the next decade.
C-Suite and Director-level executives at rightsholders, brands, broadcasters, tech companies, and service providers will get direct knowledge from experts outside of sport to set the scene and then participate in genuinely off the record, peer-to-peer discussion to dissect what it means for them and their business.
The event will explore the macro trends that will have a fundamental impact on the changes that are going to affect sport across the core themes of; economics, media, technology, and society.
Leaders in Sport Managing Director, Laura McQueen commented: “More than 50% of C-Suite and director-level rightsholder executives we interviewed wanted more structured networking and peer-to-peer discussion at industry events, and that’s where the idea for Leaders Meet: Innovation was born. We want to deliver a genuinely off the record forum where leaders in the industry can collaborate to find the new growth opportunities for their business and the wider industry.”
