THE ASSEMBLY 2026


The Assembly: Pro Sports Leadership Retreat & Workshop is held annually and brings together top leaders from professional sports to prove the value of informed and inclusive leadership. Now in its fifth year in Austin, The Assembly continues to convene leaders from across the professional sports industry. The theme of The Assembly 2026 is "Delivering Good in Tensions" with a focus on exploring divergent perspectives to discover common interests and improve outcomes for teams, leagues, unions and venues.

Attendees of The Assembly include select investors, CEOs, C Suite leaders, former players, and rising stars who have increasing influence and impact across the industry.

The Assembly will host the 4th annual Medal of Leadership Celebration. To learn more about the Medal of Leadership, past recipients, and to nominate a 2026 honoree, click here.
