Sports Tech Nation 2026 at a glance

Sports Tech Nation 2026 is an upcoming two-day Munich programme, with the public summit day scheduled for Wednesday, 2 December at SAP Garden. The event-detail page gives the venue as SAP Garden, Toni-Merkens-Weg 4, 80809 München, Germany, and records the overall event window as 1 December, 12:00 CET through 2 December, 18:00 CET. [2]

The organiser’s main programme separates Day 1 from the summit day. It places 1 December activities across the Bavarian Ministry of Economics and SAP Garden, then identifies 2 December as “Summit day” at SAP Garden. That distinction matters: a two-day event listing is not the same thing as two days of public main-stage programming. [1]

The reviewed pages do not identify the overall summit by an edition number, so this guide does not add one. For the systems behind the labels used around an event like this, start with our sports technology guide, rather than treating the event listing itself as evidence that a particular tool is installed or effective.

What is on the published Sports Tech Nation agenda?

The published Sports Tech Nation agenda is a programme framework, not a complete session-by-session running order. On 1 December, the main page names the Sports Leadership Seminar, Founders Gathering, Investors Circle and International Welcome Cocktail. The Sports Leadership Seminar page gives the clearest public times: the seminar is listed for 13:00–17:00 CET at SAP Garden, followed by the welcome cocktail from 17:30–20:30 CET. [1] [3]

In December, IST is four hours and 30 minutes ahead of Munich’s CET; the table converts the published local times and marks the India overnight finish.

For 2 December, the main page names the Startup Exhibition, Main Stage, Podcast Living Room and VIP Box Roundtables. It does not yet give a public programme with panel titles, start times, room allocations or speaker-to-session pairings. [1] The investor programme lists themes including athlete capital, women’s sport, valuations, new formats, longevity, portfolio strategy and deep tech, while marking speakers as still to be announced. Those are published themes, not confirmed panels with named speakers. [4]

The welcome cocktail is deliberately not assigned a venue here. Official organiser pages currently present inconsistent location information, so naming one would overstate what is settled. [3] [4]

Who is publicly listed for Sports Tech Nation Munich?

The organiser’s main page publicly labels the following eight people as 2026 speakers; the visible list is not shown as exhaustive. It does not establish that they have attended, will appear in a particular session, or represent an event outcome.

• Anthony Brock — Vice President, Business Strategy & Analytics, Comcast Spectacor
• Bart Spriester — SVP & GM, Streaming, Broadcast & Advertising, Comcast Technology Solutions
• Jenna Kurath — Strategic Technology, Sports & Venture Executive, Comcast Business
• Eniola Aluko — Investor, Advisor & Lawyer, Crescenda Sport / Mercury 13
• Sebastiano Lommi — Deputy Director, European Platform for Sport Innovation
• Alberto Bichi — Executive Director, European Platform for Sport Innovation – EPSI
• Tal Baron — CEO, Triple Jump Technologies
• Ido Ratzon — Region Lead (EMEA), WSC Sports [1]

The same main page currently displays five companies in its “Meet the startups” section: dribbl, Soccerment, HUMEA, Wapp, and MIMIC by Velentis. These are organiser-displayed companies, not a complete exhibitor directory or proof of an on-site demonstration. [1]

Separately, the STN Investors Summit page shows Tracy Deforge, Rohn Malhotra, Danny Menken and Johannes Dierkes under “The room, THIS edition.” That label is distinct from the main-page speaker list. It does not give a session assignment or verify attendance, so the names should not be merged into a definitive Sports Tech Nation participants list. [4]

What the organiser’s 2026 pages say about access

The current pages describe different access routes, but not a completed attendee list. The ticket page describes a Summit Pass for 2 December access to SAP Garden, stages, the exhibition floor, B2B matchmaking and the Founders Gathering. It describes an Investors Pass as adding the 1 December welcome cocktail, Investors Circle access and a light lunch on 2 December. [5]

The Sports Leadership Seminar is described as application-based for club and federation leadership. The startup exhibition has an application route, and the ticket page labels media accreditation for working journalists and broadcasters. These are published access descriptions, not a forecast of who will be present. [3] [5]

Which event details are not confirmed yet?

Several details remain unpublished or incomplete: a complete Day 2 timetable, speaker-to-session matches, full speaker, delegate and exhibitor lists, and final participation figures. The investor “Full Agenda” page currently supplies date-and-venue headings rather than a detailed programme. [4] [6]

There is also no single safe welcome-cocktail venue to report from the current official pages. And because the organiser’s terms reserve the right to change the schedule, speakers or venue without prior notice, this is best read as a dated availability record rather than a final operational timetable. [7]

How the summit topics connect to sports technology

The event’s public categories are signposts, not evidence about individual products or results. “AI and data,” wearables, computer vision, smart venues and fan engagement each have different inputs, limits and responsibilities.

For context, our AI in sports guide separates common uses from outcome claims; the wearable technology guide explains sensor and privacy limits. Readers assessing camera-based claims can use our computer vision in sports guide, while the sports analytics guide covers the path from data to a defensible decision.

Our smart stadium technology guide explains connected-venue systems without assuming that an event display proves deployment. The performance technology guide likewise keeps measurement tools separate from outcome claims.
