What Is Sports Tech House
A Home for What's Next in Sports
Sports Tech House is not a trade show. It is a curated innovation house built for demos, conversations, meetings, content, and deal-making.
The experience brings together startups, growth-stage companies, investors, teams, brands, athletes, media, agencies, and operators in one high-energy environment designed to showcase the future of sports.
Startup Demos
Emerging companies showcasing products across sports, media, performance, fan engagement, AI, data, college sports, and live experiences.
Speaker Sessions
Tactical conversations with founders, investors, team executives, brand leaders, athletes, and operators.
Investor + Buyer Access
Curated opportunities for founders to meet investors, teams, agencies, sponsors, and brand decision-makers.
Content Studio
Interviews, founder spotlights, sponsor content, event recaps, and stories from the people building the future of sports.
Provenance
From the Team Behind Chicago Sports Tech Week
Sports Tech House is created by the team behind Chicago Sports Tech Week and The Tunnel Walk — two platforms bringing together the sports business, technology, investment, media, and culture ecosystem.
Chicago Sports Tech Week has connected founders, investors, executives, teams, brands, athletes, and operators across the sports industry. The Tunnel Walk brings the culture side of sports to life through fashion, storytelling, athletes, and brand experiences.
Sports Tech House takes that same energy and turns it into a focused innovation platform built for startups, sponsors, investors, teams, and brands.
