Smart Stadiums & Sports Infra Summit
India’s first ever mega scale event to promise the clearest, most distinctive and strategic focus on what’s next across the smart stadiums and sport infrastructure ecosystem.
Providing a direct gateway to the multi-billion-dollar market, the event will bring together the most elite community of global and regional experts on 6th & 7th October 2026 in New Delhi to discuss – applied research, operational insights and practical solutions to advance the nation’s joint vision on smart stadiums and sports infrastructure.
WHY INDIA
India’s sports economy is accelerating which puts a massive demand on its infrastructure. Paying heed to this critical fact, over 328 Sports Infrastructure Projects have already been sanctioned across the country. As global benchmarks shift toward connected, data-driven, fan-centric venues, India stands at a critical inflection point. From multi-use smart stadiums to AI-enabled crowd management and sustainable venue design, the next decade will define how the nation hosts, monetizes, and scales sports.
To top it all, the rising ambitions to host global sporting spectacles like the 2030 Commonwealth Games and the bid for the 2036 Summer Olympics have further raised the bar, all the while prompting architects to build global standards and rethink stadiums as accessible, flexible and climate-responsive civic assets.
