The Future of Global Sports
Today, the global sports industry is a $2.3 trillion business, roughly equivalent to Canada's GDP. By 2050, it could grow to nearly $8 trillion as expanding global audiences, investment, and innovation reshape the business of sport.
Fueled by a growing global middle class, investment in sports infrastructure, the international expansion of leagues and competitions, and the continued rise of women's sports, the global sports industry is undergoing a profound transformation. Held on the sidelines of the Presidents Cup, Semafor will convene leaders from across sports, business, media, and investment to explore the opportunities, challenges, and forces shaping its future.
