Sportel, the international convention and summit for the sports media rights and technology industry, has confirmed a series of events for the 2024-2025 season. In addition to the traditional convention to be held in Monaco, Sportel Talks and Sportel America will take place in New York and Miami, respectively. Let's now take a closer look at each of these events.
Firstly, Sportel Monaco,announced its 2024 convention. From 28 – 30 October, the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco will once again host industry leaders for three days of conferences, exhibitions, and networking, centered around the most important market floor for sports media. The event will bring together influential industry players, such as the legendary LALIGA President, Javier Tebas and for the first time following the broadcast success of Paris 2024, Yiannis Exarchos, CEO, OBS and Executive Director, OCS, plus J. Michael Evans, Director and President, Alibaba Group and many more, to discuss the key trends and innovations shaping the future of sports media. A programme of expert Masterclasses and case study presentations, plus a new sports and generative AI workshop in collaboration with SVG, will complement the business activities and meetings throughout the three day event.
Loris Menoni, Executive Director of Sportel Monaco referred to the event's commitment to excellence: "I am committed to upholding the high standards of excellence that have always defined our event. This year is already shaping up to be a great success, with the exhibition space nearly sold out and the addition of a new conference innovation stage to accommodate an even richer programme. More new features are coming before the event begins, including an inspiring Women's Lunch, to shape the world of business and beyond. I am excited to welcome our community back to Monaco for what promises to be an exceptional event," stated.
Secondly, Sportel Talks New York is a new initiative that promises to be an end of year industry highlight in the city that never sleeps . Scheduled for 16 December, Sportel Talks New York will be co-located with the SVG Summit NYC (16 – 17 December), the premier event for sports production professionals. This partnership brings together a unique blend of influential leaders, innovators, and professionals in the sports media and technology industries. Unlike Sportel´s traditional multi-day events, this new Talks format, offers an intense afternoon of high-impact discussions, thought leadership, and unparalleled networking opportunities in an exclusive setting. Sportel Talks New York focuses on creating an intimate environment where meaningful conversations take center stage.
Last but not least, Miami will host once again a new edition of Sportel America, from 1 to 2 April, 2025, at the prestigious JW Marriott Miami, ideally located in the vibrant waterfront and financial district of Brickell. This two-day market and summit will bring together key decision-makers from international media rights holders, TV networks, streaming platforms, as well as sports tech companies and start-ups from across the Americas and beyond.
It will be a unique opportunity to engage and connect with the dynamic Sportel community and participate in innovative masterclasses and presentations as well as targeted networking sessions designed to foster partnerships and business opportunities.
