The 37th Sports Assembly is a premier gathering of sport executives, decision-makers, and industry leaders from Europe’s public broadcasters, federations, and key partners. This bi-annual event serves as a platform to exchange ideas, foster collaboration, and shape the future of sports broadcasting.
This year’s edition in Geneva will feature a strong focus on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its transformative impact on the sports industry. Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in AI-themed breakout rooms during the Assembly, exploring practical applications and strategies, and dive deeper into this critical topic with a dedicated AI Workshop following the main proceedings.
Join us for dynamic discussions, innovative insights, and networking opportunities as we navigate the intersection of sports and technology, charting the path forward for the industry.
