Meet our 2025 speakers:

For more than 10 years we have welcomed some of the industry’s best to the SportsPro Live stage, and that is only growing with this year’s speaking roster. For 2025, we were delighted to welcome true leaders in the field who will took the mic for the main programme, as well as at the sponsorship, media, women’s sport and technology forums.

Wondering who spoke on which stage?

Each of our stages had a distinct colour, so you can easily identify which speaker was on what stage:
