Last week, our Chief Purpose Officer, Fiona Morgan, took the stage at Leaders in Sport, which brought together 2,000+ international attendees, to lead a roundtable discussion for Leaders Connects – a focused networking session on Sustainability Best Practices in Sport. The session gathered industry leaders for an informal, interactive discussion on how the sports industry can improve in developing and showcasing sustainable practices, from social to environmental impact. The conversation challenged preconceptions and sparked a lively discussion during the afternoon session at Twickenham.

Earlier last week at the CIO Summit, our Chief Content Officer at SailGP, Melissa Lawton, joined the Powering Champions with Oracle Analytics, Cloud, and AI panel to explore how Oracle’s cutting-edge technology is driving success in competitive sports. She was joined by Jack Harrington, Partnerships Group Lead at Oracle Red Bull Racing, with Jae Sook Evans hosting the discussion. In the world of sports, where speed, precision, and quick decision-making are essential, Oracle solutions optimize race strategies, deliver deeper performance insights, and help teams push boundaries to maintain their winning momentum. The conversation explored how Oracle Analytics, Cloud, and AI are powering champions like Oracle Red Bull Racing and SailGP. Jack and Melissa shared insights into how AI-driven analytics can uncover new opportunities, enabling teams to work smarter and make data-backed decisions that keep them ahead of the competition. They emphasized the importance to use these technologies alongside existing efforts, rather than as a replacement, making sure that AI enhances, rather than takes away from, the value of human expertise. #OracleCloud #AI #Analytics #OracleRedBullRacing #SailGP #SportsTech #Innovation

#NewYorkClimateWeek was the perfect backdrop to launch our Creatures United partnership. We are so grateful to have gathered so many special partners together for our launch event at Ethic House. Watch below👇 to see what it was like in the room where it happened!

Our Chief Technology Officer, Warren Jones, took the stage with T-Mobile For Business to dive into the game-changing role of #5G in sports. He was joined by an impressive lineup of industry leaders, from Major League Baseball (MLB), Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix and PGA of America, with Mike Fitz from T-Mobile For Business hosting the discussion. The conversation highlighted how T-Mobile’s 5G network is reshaping sports, from streamlining operations to delivering immersive fan experiences. Warren provided insights into how SailGP’s events are elevated by T-Mobile’s ship-to-shore 5G solutions. Each F50 boat is equipped with 125 sensors, transmitting 30,000 data points every second, which amounts to a staggering 48 billion data points on a single race day. This real-time data helps teams make split-second decisions that can affect strategy and performance. T-Mobile’s 5G technology also brings our fans closer to the action. Traditional hard-wired cameras aren’t feasible for water-based events, but 5G allows us to deploy wireless, broadcast-quality cameras, giving fans a front-row seat to the race from anywhere. Whether on the open water or in complex venues like New York City, T-Mobile helps us tackle some of the most demanding environments. With every race, T-Mobile For Business enables us to push boundaries, experiment with new technologies, and continuously improve the experience for our fans, athletes, coaches, and operations teams. #SportsTech #SailGP #MWCLasVegas #Innovation #FanExperience #TMobileforBusiness
