Formula 1 said that it has partnered with Liberty Media and the CAA to host the F1 Business Summit, a sports and entertainment gathering that will bring together some of the most prominent figures in business, entertainment, and sports. The sale of packages will begin at 10 a.m. PDT on Friday, August 22.
On Thursday, November 20, during race week, the F1 Business Summit will take place at the Wynn Las Vegas. It will bring together industry executives and international partners to discuss how sports, entertainment, and culture connect. There will be several interesting panels talks that will look at how sports have moved beyond its historical confines and are influencing some of the most current pop culture happenings globally to engage fans in ways that go well beyond games and events.
Stefano Domenicali, President & CEO of Formula 1, stated: “In the US, sport holds an incredible position – it’s cultural, a huge part of society and loved across the country, so Las Vegas is the perfect place for the F1 Business Summit. It’s the global home of sports and entertainment and as we host our third season racing in this fantastic location, we have the momentum to connect influential speakers and guests to explore how we can work together to continue to innovate, push boundaries, and think big.”
“Formula 1 is a prime example of how a global sporting event can shape pop culture and build lasting relevance and impact that extends beyond motorsports,” stated Emily Prazer, President and Chief Executive Officer of Las Vegas Grand Prix, Inc. and Chief Commercial Officer for Formula 1. “The F1 Business Summit will bring innovators, investors, and visionaries together in Las Vegas to exchange ideas and accelerate change in a destination that has cemented its reputation as the sports and entertainment capital.”
Starting at 12:30 p.m. and ending with closing statements at 4:00 p.m., attendees will have a full day of networking and panel discussions.
