Sport is being reshaped in real time.

Artificial intelligence, data, and digital platforms are no longer supporting the industry - they are redefining it.

In May 2026, SportAccord brings the global sport community to Baku around one central theme: Shaping the Future of Sport in the Digital Age

From performance and athlete health to fan engagement, media, and governance, the programme will focus on what real digital transformation looks like in practice.

The question is no longer if sport will transform, but who will lead that transformation.
