## Definition

The CAA World Congress of Sports is North America's largest sports business conference. The 2026 edition ran from 14 to 16 April in Los Angeles, host city of the 2026 FIFA World Cup and NBA All-Star Game, Super Bowl LXI in 2027 and the 2028 Summer Olympics. The audience is at ownership and C-suite level.

## What it covers

The Congress gathers owners, team presidents, sponsors and media leaders. It is less technology-led, offering access to the decision-makers who shape major events and media flows.

## Where it sits

It is the American counterpart of Leaders Week: very senior, ownership-oriented, low on technology. Its value rises with the US event cycle through 2028.
