THE FUTURE OF SPORTS IS HERE

The global value of the sports industry was estimated to be $471 billion in 2018 – an increase of nearly 50 percent since 2011 – and its value was only predicted to continue growing before COVID-19 stopped play. 

Now, every part of the sports pipeline has been affected, from the athletes and teams, to the media that broadcast games, and the fans who fill stadiums. 

The final day of the 2020 Fast Forward Summit will examine how the world of sports is responding to the economic impact of COVID-19.

Topics will include how brands are adapting, the changing role of athletes, fan experience, the 2021 Olympics, and much more.
