FAQ

The Gameplan Conference is a two-day event and will take place on March 26-27, 2026. A variety of showcases around the next gen in sports & media will be presented in front of 1.100 guests - with a big stage, a wide variety of experiences, as well as a big after show party and several workshops.

Single tickets for the Gameplan Conference are not available for purchase. If you want to attend, you can book a table for your company on our website.

Day 1 kicks off in the morning with networking, followed by four hours of show after lunch on our big stage featuring keynotes and talks. In the evening, we wrap up the day with our after-show party.

Day 2 is all about our deep dives, where we’ll explore various topics in smaller sessions.

You’ll find the full schedule - including all keynotes, talks, and deep dives - on our website a few weeks before the event. We’ll be announcing the first speakers soon, so stay tuned!

At the Gameplan Conference you will find a wide selection of food trucks and drinks available to all guests free of charge.

The showcases will be held both in German and English, but the majority will be in English. We will indicate the language for each showcase in our program overview.
