Scheduled for September 29, the keynote session titled "Leadership in Sports Business" aims to dissect the evolution of the modern sports ecosystem. The discussion will navigate the shifting relationship between sports betting and iGaming, alongside strategies for scaling global enterprises and maintaining performance under pressure. These three figures represent distinct pillars of the industry: Jordan’s cultural and athletic influence, Koerl’s data-driven infrastructure, and Robins’ expansion of the digital gaming market.

Michael Jordan, Carsten Koerl, and Jason Robins to headline SBC Summit
The Lisbon-based SBC Summit 2026 has secured a high-profile lineup for its opening session, bringing together basketball legend Michael Jordan, Sportradar CEO Carsten Koerl, and DraftKings CEO Jason Robins. Moderated by broadcaster Kirsty Gallacher, the panel marks a significant moment for the intersection of sports, betting, and technology.

SBC founder and CEO Rasmus Sojmark noted that the convergence of these specific leaders reflects the current trajectory of the sector. The summit, which anticipates an attendance of 40,000 professionals, serves as a hub for stakeholders across media, payments, and technology to evaluate how these sectors are increasingly operating in tandem. Further logistical details for the keynote remain forthcoming as the event approaches its autumn start date in Portugal.
