We are very excited to announce that the Football Innovation Forum (FIF) powered by World Football Summit in collaboration with N3XT Sports is back. Sevilla will host the second edition of FIF on May 18th 2022, the same day of the UEFA Europa League Final.
The football industry will once again meet at the intersection of innovation, technology and the future of our beloved game when the Football Innovation Forum returns for its second edition this spring on May 18th 2022 at the Sevilla Tourism Office in Marques de Contadero, Seville. 18 speakers will headline four panels in an invite-only event that addresses topics dedicated to football innovation, investment, and technology.
With the event focused on how technology has affected – and continues to affect – the way football is played, consumed and shared, the tentative sessions scheduled for the day are*:
- The Decade of Innovation: Major advancements and their butterfly effect in football
Addressing the biggest steps taken in the industry over the past ten years, our speakers will predict the after effects we are due to see in the coming decade.
- Explore the Marketing Metaverse: Blurring the boundaries between the old and new industrial realities
The ‘M-word’ is fast becoming the most searched entity online. We bring the experts to answer all those questions in one sizzling conversation.
- The Goal is Green: Key Innovations for a Sustainable Sport
With no #PlanetB, there’s no time to waste. Football has taken giant leaps in the right direction to make the industry sustainable, and the top speakers behind the movement will keep that momentum going at FIF.
- More than Ones & Zeroes: Managing the future of Sports Data
Footballing performance may be displayed on high-tech gadgets with graphs and numbers, but the implementable reality lies in understanding performance beyond statistics.
- Hybrid Partnerships in Sport: Increased Flexibility for Increased Revenue?
Revenue-making models have been turned upside down in the past couple years, and there’s just one common rule for staying in the green zone – go with the flow and experiment new ventures.
The inaugural edition of FIF in Madrid, 2019 saw decision-makers in the industry drawing on disruptive insights from inside and outside the world of football. Some of the key stakeholders at the event were FIFA, UEFA, Meta, LaLiga, Movistar+, Kosmos, DFL, Genius Sports and more.
WFS will be reviewing every single attendee of the 150 who are set to be invited to an executive knowledge-sharing and networking event. The seniority of the invitees guarantees that all participants at FIF will leave with impactful connections that lead to pivotal partnerships in the future.
