The meeting point for AI in sport

Where the researchers building the models meet the clubs, companies and investors who will use them.

Day 1

Computer Vision

Camera and sensor feeds into performance data a club can act on, from the World Cup's offside system to a phone on a training ground.

Day 1

AI Infrastructure

The data architecture a club needs before any model is useful, and where language models fit into a coaching workflow today.

Day 2

Commercialization

How research-grade technology becomes a product, who buys it, and what the investors still active in performance and data are looking for.

Day 2

Governance, Ethics and Standards

Whether the tools discussed over the two days are trustworthy, fair and interoperable at scale, and who is responsible when a model gets it wrong.
