The who’s who of world sport will descend on the Melbourne & Olympic Parks (M&OP) precinct in April, with CENTREPIECE at Melbourne Park set to host the inaugural SportNXT conference.

The three-day summit (6-8 April) will gather foremost global, regional, and domestic c-suite sporting leaders and athletes, who will probe the issues and opportunities for the sector in both Australia and abroad.

M&OP CEO, John Harnden AM joins the list of over 50 speakers, which includes Formula1 Chief Executive Stefano Domenicali, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver and US Women’s National Soccer Team Captain Megan Rapinoe.

SportNXT Chairman, Eddie McGuire AM, said the conference will provide delegates with a rewarding and inspiring professional development opportunity.

“Forums like these are breeding grounds for cutting-edge innovation, sector-shaping ideas and investment and best-practice collaboration,” he said.

“Corralling the brightest minds in sport into one place for a future-focussed forum promises so much for the sector – there will be no issue too big to tackle or opportunity too far-fetched to realise with this group.”

SportNXT offers both an in-person live summit experience for Australian and Asia-Pacific attendees and a digital-only pass for international delegates if they are unable to attend in person.

Delegate passes are now on sale, with early bird specials available during February.
