Whether you’re leading strategy, driving commercial growth, shaping performance systems, or elevating digital engagement, this is where sport professionals come to build the AI skills and confidence needed to future-proof their business in an increasingly competitive landscape.

The Digital Sports Revolution

Join us at Marvel Stadium in Melbourne, in one of the world’s ‘smart’ sporting stadiums, where the brightest minds and foremost organisations will converge to explore critical themes shaping the future of the industry. From disruptive innovation and gamification to digital athlete branding and fan data monetisation strategies, the summit will cover it all. Dive into discussions on data intelligence, generative AI, and the burgeoning field of metaverse esports and gaming competitions. Whether you’re a seasoned sport business professional, a manager or marketeer eager to understand the digital sport business landscape, DSBS is your gateway to staying ahead of the curve and unlocking new opportunities in the ever-evolving sports ecosystem.

Four Essential Themes for Every Sport Organisation

Performance Intelligence

Where human performance meets machine intelligence. Explore how AI is transforming talent ID, coaching and training design, injury risk, opponent analysis and mental wellbeing – turning raw data into competitive advantage. Coaches, performance directors and analysts will see how to integrate the latest AI tools without losing the art of coaching or athlete trust.

Digital Marketing

How is AI rewiring fan engagement and membership revenue in sport? We’ll dive into AI-powered targeting, content creation, and personalisation that actually converts – from smarter partnership activations and ticketing campaigns to automated, always-on fan journeys. Expect practical case studies, live demos and playbooks you can take straight back to your club, league or brand team.

Organisational Transformation

Winning with AI isn’t about tools, it’s about culture. Look at how sport organisations – from high-performance institutes to clubs and NSO’s to SSA’s – are reshaping structures, workflows and decision-making to become truly digital-first. Learn how to build AI-fluency across your workforce, govern data responsibly and lead change without breaking your people or budget.

Commercial Growth

AI is evolving the sport business model. Understand how rights holders, venues, agencies and brands are using AI to unlock new inventory, dynamic pricing, smarter partnerships and data-driven products. Walk away with concrete ideas for net new revenue streams, stronger sponsor ROI and commercial strategies built for the next decade, not the last one.

Hear from the game-changers

The Summit brings together key players driving innovation across the sporting landscape, alongside global technology leaders, cutting-edge innovators, and strategic industry powerhouses. This is where the real conversations happen, not theory, not hype, but practical insights from those actively deploying AI across elite performance systems, digital marketing, data strategy and commercial operations.
