The Sphere of Sports Foundation is an independent 501(c)(3) institute advancing leadership, governance, and innovation across the global sports ecosystem.

Through research, convenings, and cross-sector collaboration, we engage the leaders shaping the future of sport worldwide.

We bring together senior leaders from professional sport, global brands, capital markets, technology, government, academia, and civic institutions. Participation is by invitation to preserve trust, expertise, and a high standard of dialogue.

Speakers are chosen based on their leadership experience, subject-matter expertise, and demonstrated impact across sport, business, governance, and culture.

Each program’s contributor roster is curated to ensure that discussions reflect current global priorities and emerging trends.

Organizations may engage through research partnerships, program participation, advisory involvement, or philanthropic support. We welcome inquiries from institutions aligned with our mission and values, and invite them to connect with our team to explore opportunities.

At this time, volunteer pathways are limited to designated institutional partners and specialized academic collaborations. Our programming is primarily supported by professional operations teams and strategic partners.

Due to the limited capacity and invitation-only nature of our convenings, registrations are generally non-refundable. Transfer requests may be considered on a case-by-case basis at the discretion of the Foundation.
