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

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.
