We are excited to support the 3rd annual Digital Innovation for Sport conference, hosted by ATU Galway on Thursday, 7 May 2026.
This year’s theme, “The Intelligent Sport Ecosystem,” perfectly captures the next frontier in sports technology: leveraging data pipelines and AI not just for athlete performance, but to optimize the entire operational infrastructure behind it. From facility management to real-time performance monitoring, the potential for innovation is immense.
Why this event matters to us: The agenda offers a rare blend of academic insight and practical application:
- Real-World Case Studies: Seeing how National Governing Bodies and businesses are currently harnessing data to drive efficiency.
- Operational Breakthroughs: A standout session on repurposing warehousing technology to track equipment and enhance facility visibility (featuring Gymnastics Ireland and GBA Solutions).
- Ecosystem Growth: Critical updates from Enterprise Ireland and the European Digital Innovation Hubs on supports available for sports tech innovators.
- Industry Leadership: Insights from prominent voices like Lisa Fallon, Gavin Noble, and Conor Carmody on the intersection of sports business and technology.
Whether you are involved in sports facilities, performance analysis, or infrastructure planning, this event promises practical takeaways on what is possible right now.
We look forward to joining the conversation in Galway and exploring how intelligent systems can elevate both performance and participation in Irish sport.
