In addition to the below lineup, further speakers will be confirmed in the new year with audience interaction and contribution encouraged throughout the morning’s discussions.

Following the conclusion of an end-of-year research period conducted by SIG and Nielsen Sports, the Sport Industry Report 2025 launch event will gather leaders in UK sport, business and politics to discuss the report’s findings and to assess what the next 12 months within the sector will bring.

To properly digest the report’s findings and to lead the conversation heading into the new year, the event hosted at The Forum, located within EY’s London Bridge office will feature a series of keynote speeches and panel discussions. These will be complemented by a networking breakfast and lunch, along with a number of exclusive, invite-only workshops led by contributing organisations.

The report itself will deliver definitive analysis of the value being invested across the UK sport industry, which organisations are leading the way within it and unearth insights into the mindset of sports fan and professionals alike, with a view to advancing the conversation across a number of trending topics, including investment, women’s sport, sustainability, fan experience and technological innovation.

Sport Industry Group Managing Director, Dylan Pugh, said, “I’m delighted to officially announce a incredibly strong lineup of speakers set to take the stage at the Sport Industry Report launch event.

“I look forward to welcoming this esteemed group to discuss the report’s findings, set the agenda for the next twelve months and kick off what promises to be another incredible year within the sport industry.

“My thanks to all our panellists for agreeing to contribute to the first iteration of this annual event, in addition to our partners Nielsen Sports and EY for their support in bringing this report and launch event to fruition.”
