What is the MIT Sports Summit?
This is the flagship event of the MIT Sports Lab. It brings together leaders in industry and academia who have big visions and are on the forefront of their disciplines.  It is an opportunity for all of our partners, supporters, and current MIT students, faculty and staff to share advances, challenges and passions that lie at the intersection of sports, data, and engineering. The 2021 MIT Sports Summit will be entirely virtual.
