In Person Event: Game Changers Summit: How AI Is Shaping the Future of Sports

About the Event:

At the Game Changers Summit, we’ll explore how athletes, coaches, doctors, and teams can use AI to make better-informed decisions. From personalized athlete health and safer play to smarter operations and stronger fan connections. Speakers will focus on how AI is making sports healthier, more inventive, and more inclusive while preserving the judgment and authenticity at the heart of the game.
Join us October 13 in San Francisco for a half-day program featuring two panels, five short Ignite talks, breakout discussions, a late lunch, happy hour, exciting product presentation, and time to connect with fellow attendees and the OpenAI team. This event is invite-only, please request an invitation to attend. The address will be shared with registered guests closer to the event, and the program will not be livestreamed.

Panel Discussion
Beyond One-Size-Fits-All: AI, Athlete Health, and Longevity Panel

How can AI help athletes train smarter, recover more effectively, and protect their health long after competition ends? Every elite athlete has distinct biology, health history, physical demands, and performance goals which require personalized approaches to training, nutrition, injury management, and recovery. Bringing together a biomedical researcher and two elite athletes, this panel will explore how AI can support that personalization while keeping athletes, coaches, and clinicians at the center.
