2026 NEW VOICES UNDER 30
Sports Business Journal is looking for the “new influencers,” those fresh voices representing generation next. New Voices Under 30 will identify young, diverse and impactful leaders, entrepreneurs, risk-takers and disrupters who are re-imagining the sports experience and the way business is done. They have varied backgrounds, beliefs, and points of view, and are the change agents who are eager to shift the traditional sports business.
Sports Business Journal will begin taking nominations for the New Voices Under 30 class of 2026 on Monday, May 11th. Nominations will close at 11:59 PM on Monday, June 22nd. There will be an online nomination form posted once we begin taking nominations.
On Thursday, November 19th, we will gather with our New Voices Under 30 honorees at The Hard Rock hotel in Manhattan to celebrate the accomplishments of these rising sports business influencers.
It’s a celebration and a ceremony like none you’ve ever witnessed.
DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES? OR KNOW SOMEONE WHO DOES?
