What is the MIT Sports Summit?
The MIT Sports Summit is the annual flagship event of the MIT Sports Lab. This event is designed to bring together leaders in industry and academia as well as the greater MIT community to share advances in the field of sports and new work coming out of the MIT labs. We are excited to announce that the 2025 MIT Sports Summit will be held in-person at the MIT Media Lab on Wednesday, March 5, 2025.
From Innovation to Impact
"From Innovation to Impact" is the theme for the 2025 Summit. What does this mean to us?
Since the early 2000s, the use of new technologies such as data analytics, sports science, and AI have transformed the sports industy. With these new technologies out there, the possibilities are endless but overwhelming.
The question is no longer "should we use analytics?" but is now "how do we leverage analytical capabilities to meet our individual goals and maintain our competitive edge?" How do we find what metrics matter and distill these new ideas into a strategy for success?
