NEXT Summit: New York 2027

NEXT Summit New York 2027 will take place on 13 and 14 April 2027 at Convene Hudson Yards, on the 24th floor of 30 Hudson Yards in Manhattan. It is organised by NEXT.io, a media and events company that also runs a summit in Valletta, and covers online gambling and sports betting in North America. The 2027 edition moves to this new venue, which the organiser describes as a 72,000-square-foot event space, to make room for a larger audience. The organiser's figures are its own. It says the 2026 summit, the fifth New York edition, drew more than 1,400 attendees after four sold-out years, and it markets the 2027 event as hosting more than 2,000 executives. The groups it expects include operators and tribes, sports teams, suppliers, start-ups, investors, regulators, media and affiliates. The two main days combine an exhibition with conference sessions, and the stated aim is to put operators in front of suppliers and founders in front of investors. Four ticket routes are listed. A Conference Only Pass at US$899 covers both expo and conference days, lunch and refreshments. The Full Event Pass, at US$1,199, adds the pre-registration and networking evening on 12 April and the networking events after each conference day. A VIP Pass at US$2,299 adds breakfast, a VIP event and lounge access. Operators can apply for a free pass. Two separate events sit either side of the summit and need their own tickets: NEXT Focus: Emerging Verticals on 12 April, which in 2026 dealt with social casino, sweepstakes and skill-based gaming, and a prediction markets event on 15 April. As of 31 October 2026 no session titles, speakers or networking venues for 2027 had been published. The summit page also offered a hotel booking portal for delegates. For affiliates the summit is relevant mainly as a US market meeting point. Affiliates are named among the expected attendees, but the free pass is reserved for operators, so affiliates would need one of the paid passes. The prediction markets and emerging verticals days are worth watching for anyone following products that sit outside state-licensed online casino and sports betting.
