2025 Speakers

As investors and private equity take on a bigger role across teams, leagues, and platforms, the key question is: where is the money flowing in sport?

From ownership models and media rights to emerging markets and disruptive tech, our speakers will unpack the trends shaping the next wave of investment. 

Meet the speakers that took to the stage at the inaugural SportsPro Investment Summit on 9th July, to explore where opportunity meets innovation.
