THANK YOU
SEE YOU IN 2026

THE SPOT is ThinkSport’s flagship event — a one-of-a-kind gathering where leaders from International Federations, forward-thinking start-ups, academics, and athletes come together to explore the ideas shaping the future of sport. Whether you’re driving innovation, building partnerships, or simply passionate about what’s next, this is where connections spark and change begins.

  2. Unlocking Potential
    The vital connection between mental health, youth participation, and peak performance.
  3. The Power of Wearables

  4. AI & Robotics
    Disruptive innovation and its role in reshaping sport across all levels.
  5. Bridging the Gap
    Start-ups meet industry leaders — together building bold, scalable solutions.
  6. How much entertainment can sport take?
