What is the MIT Sports Summit?

This is the flagship event of MIT’s Sports Lab. It brings together a curated group of doers - those in industry and academia who have big visions and are on the forefront of their disciplines.  It is an opportunity for all of our affiliates, supporters, and members of the MIT community to come to campus and share advances, challenges and passions that lie at the intersection of engineering and sports. ​This year's summit will take place at MIT, November 12th - 13th.

Who should attend?

Affiliates and partners of the program will get a glimpse into the future of sports technology in a variety of areas, from advanced functional fibers to big data and analytics. You will get to meet faculty, students and startups working in these areas.

Students interested in sports technology can hear from world-class thought leaders from both industry and academia about exciting new research and development that will revolutionize the sports industry.*
