Athlete 360 Summit 2026

Athlete 360 is an international conference covering the whole athlete life cycle, from grassroots participation and talent development through elite performance to post-career wellbeing. It runs on 14 and 15 October 2026 in Riyadh, co-located with the World Stadiums and Arenas Summit at the same venue, with a shared opening ceremony on the first morning and a separate stage for each summit across the two days.

The programme is built on five themes: high performance and athlete development; sports science, health and wellbeing; sports technology and innovation; sports business, investment and commercial growth; and community sport, education and future talent. Sessions cover building a high-performance sports ecosystem and federation governance, turning the Vision 2030 physical activity target into a talent pipeline, sustainable revenue models for the sports economy, sports medicine and injury prevention, wearables and real-time performance analytics, ownership of athlete data under the Saudi Personal Data Protection Law, anti-doping and supplement safety, performing in Gulf heat and humidity alongside Ramadan scheduling, and the certification of Saudi coaches, sports scientists and administrators. It addresses federations, clubs and Olympic committees, high-performance and medical staff, physiotherapists, nutritionists and sports scientists, sports technology providers, investors, universities and research centres.

Attendance is by advance registration on two passes: the Primary Delegate Pass at 49 US dollars plus value added tax, for developers, government bodies and ministries, municipalities, sporting centres and clubs, and federations; and the Vendor Delegate Pass at 999 US dollars plus tax, for providers of athlete performance solutions, technology and supplies. Both include full access to the sessions of both days, luncheon, networking coffee breaks and a guided tour of the exhibition area. The conference is accompanied by an exhibition of sports equipment and solutions, networking hours with closed-door meetings, live demonstrations and a podcast recording zone, and a live pitch competition for sports startups.
