SETTING THE STAGE
CAA WORLD CONGRESS OF SPORTS MOVES TO L.A. IN 2026
As the host of world-class events beginning with the FIFA World Cup and the NBA All-Star Game in 2026, Super Bowl LXI in 2027, and the Summer Olympics in 2028, and the nonstop pulse of sports activity throughout the year, it’s fitting that Los Angeles will be the site of the 2026 CAA World Congress of Sports. It will be held April 14-16 at the JW Marriott Los Angeles L.A. LIVE.
“Los Angeles is the perfect setting for the premier gathering of sports industry leaders,” comments Sports Business Journal Publisher & Executive Editor Abe Madkour. “In addition to being a global stage in the coming years, the city is a dynamic hub for sports, and home to iconic franchises across so many sports leagues. And along with our partner, CAA, we are excited to bring this marquee event to L.A.”
World Congress is the largest and most prestigious sports business conference in North America. Attendees include commissioners and other league officers; team owners and presidents; corporate sponsors and advertisers; media executives; agency heads and the financial community. The program addresses the business of sports from the perspective of the industry’s top executives. However, it also features speakers and topics that transcend sports.
In addition to the content on stage, World Congress is known as a networking mecca where high-profile discussions take place, and deals get done among the industry’s top stakeholders.
