Speakers come from different worlds on purpose: researchers who can say what is actually new in computer vision, data and language models; performance and data staff from clubs and federations who know what survives a season; and the founders and investors who decide what gets built and bought. Each track hears all three, and the conversation between them is the point. Names are published here as they are confirmed, and the call for talks is open until 30 October.









MIDAS is a partnership first: the International Football Institute with Sports Tech Nation, TU Dublin, ThinkSport and EBAN Sports. We are proud that so many organisations and institutes have come together to build it. The programme committee below, from the host institute, a Bundesliga club, a university and Colosseum Sport, reads every call-for-talks submission.
