Leaders across the sports technology space gathered earlier this week for the seventh edition of the Sports Innovation Society’s Paris Sport Innovation Summit. The event, held over the last two days of October, featured 30 world class speakers and representatives from organizations such as the NBA, LaLiga, the San Francisco 49ers, the Portland Trail Blazers, MIT Sports Lab, and FC Barcelona.
Discussion topics ranged from the innovative tactics used by sports leagues and teams to enhance digital fan engagement, to the latest tracking technology used to monitor athlete performance and lifestyle on and off the field. SiS also conducted a startup competition sponsored by the French Football Federation that featured nine finalists from the athlete performance, player safety, and fan engagement sectors.
