The inaugural F1 Business Summit – taking place ahead of the Heineken Las Vegas Grand Prix later this month – will feature a host of industry leaders and global brand partners.
Here, Sector provides information ahead of the summit, which will bring together some of the brightest business minds within F1 and further afield.
Who?
A broad spectrum of some of the biggest names in Formula 1 will be joined by other sports team executives, brand partners, and Las Vegas experts.
F1 President and Chief Executive Officer Stefano Domenicali will offer an overview of the sport’s current position, while Emily Prazer, F1’s Chief Commercial Officer and President of the Las Vegas Grand Prix, will be speaking on a panel.
Other panellists include Liberty Media CEO Derek Chang, F1 Academy Managing Director Suzie Wolff and Mercedes AMG-Petronas Team Principal, CEO and Co-Owner Toto Wolff.
Disney, LEGO, Globant, PepsiCo and Salesforce are among the partners represented, while speakers from Angel City Football Club, the Las Vegas Raiders and the Women’s National Basketball Association will also be taking to the stage.
What?
F1 and Liberty are tapping into the growing interest in the sport by hosting the F1 Business Summit in Las Vegas.
Featuring input from across sport, entertainment, and business, it will include panels covering topics such as women’s sport, the tech revolution and how Vegas has positioned itself as a hotbed for sports.
It will be the first event of its kind, also providing a networking opportunity for guests, who can purchase packages which include race weekend tickets – and even the chance to play golf against their favourite F1 drivers.
Where and when?
As F1 cars prepare to race down the famous Las Vegas Strip, the F1 Business Summit will take place ahead of the on-track action on Thursday, November 20.
Hosted by Wynn, the afternoon event will close just as Free Practice 1 begins and Sector will be in attendance to report on the panels and talk to the experts.
