2026 Fall Symposium - Boston, MA

The Sports Law Frontier: Navigating Business, Technology, and Globalization


Join us in Boston on November 5–6 for the Sports Lawyers Association’s 2026 Fall Symposium, where we explore the rapidly evolving frontier of sports law. This year’s theme brings together the forces transforming the global sports industry — emerging technologies, shifting business models, and the accelerating international reach of leagues, athletes, and markets.

The 2026 Symposium will convene leading voices from across many facets of sports to examine the legal, commercial, and regulatory challenges shaping this new era. Attendees will engage with experts driving innovation at the intersection of business and sport law, participate in sessions designed for real-time problem-solving, and connect with peers who are defining the future of the profession.

The event will be held at the Sheraton Boston, 39 Dalton Street, Boston, MA, with a room rate of $349 + tax.
