"The last time we held World Congress in Miami was 2011, when we celebrated our 10th anniversary," recalls Sports Business Journal Publisher & Executive Editor Abe Madkour. "And we're very excited to bring the program back for its 25th in-person rendition, particularly with the enormous growth the Miami sports scene has experienced over the past decade.”

Here's what they are saying about the CAA World Congress of Sports

"Well, this is the sports conference in the industry! It's a convening event that brings together everyone across leagues, across levels, and all the major decision-makers. And for me, doing the work that I do, this is the place to be. It was electric." Nadia Rawlinson Co-Owner, Operating Chairman & League Governor Chicago Sky

"If there's one place on the calendar that everybody who cares about our industry in sports and who's plotting the future of our sports is going to be in one place, it's at the World Congress. This is where our industry comes together, and this is where the best ideas are shared, and this is where relationships are built. So who wouldn't want to be here?" Rick Welts CEO Dallas Mavericks

"This conference is a collection of the leading people in our sport and the industry. It's always great to come and learn from people and listen. It's such a great collection of people and I'm proud to be a part of it." Ian Ayre Vice Chairman Nashville Soccer Club
