Story Highlights

The vibrant city of Miami is set to welcome back SPORTEL, the world's leading

market and conference summit for the sports media and tech industry, from April 1-2 at the prestigious JW Marriott Miami. This exclusive gathering will invite

participants to connect under the stunning backdrop of the cosmopolitan sunshine state and gateway for sports business in the Americas.

Times and technology have evolved since Miami first played host to SPORTEL over 25 years ago and so has this regional event, which is reflected both on the market and exhibit floor and complemented by an expertly curated conference summit. A dynamic mix of international sports executive leaders and disruptive innovators, who are collectively shaping the future of the industry and producing groundbreaking solutions for sports media, will take to the stage at Speakers Corner, to share engaging masterclass panels and presentation sessions throughout the two-day event.

Day one opens with a Miami and US focus, as a celebrated host city and

country discussing, The American Dream: A Media Hub for Major Sports Events and how the biggest media market in the world, ticks all the boxes from infrastructure, to fans to sustainability to broadcast and more with Hard Rock Stadium & Formula 1 Crypto.com Miami Grand Prix (Jillian Falduto), FIFA World Cup 2026TM Miami Host Committee (Janelle M. Prieto) Formula E (Jonathan Salt), Homestead-Miami Speedway (Guillermo Santa Cruz) and moderated by Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau (Mat Ratner).

Next up, we'll move into the rapidly evolving world of AI, already redefining the industry.

Switching directions, A New Era of Live Sports Streaming in collaboration with SportBusiness (Jon Rest), will debate how Netflix is upping its stakes to incorporate live streaming of premium events, plus the growth of live sports content on FAST platforms and models and success and challenges for leagues leveraging their own DTC channels. Hear more on where things are heading from our executive line up of Paramount/Pluto TV (Eduardo Arias), FOX Deportes (Angelina Losada), YouTube (Victor Machado) and Octagon (William Mao).

Closing the day, will be the first of two sessions for the ever popular Pitch Perfect which continues to gain traction in popularity, providing a fantastic showcase for emerging companies new to SPORTEL who have a creative or innovative solution, to present in this quick-fire session. Each company is allocated just three minutes pitch time and two minutes question time, with the lucky winner receiving a full access visitor pass to SPORTEL Monaco 2025.

leagues are ramping up their investment in the US market and how this will be

financed. Leading the discussion will be SportBusiness (Jon Rest) with European and domestic insights from Televisa Univision (Andrew Captan), LALIGA North America (Nicolas Garcia Hemme) and OneFootball (Yannick Ramcke).
