Описание: At the 27th annual Milken Institute Global Conference will delve into the theme "Shaping a Shared Future." Today, we grapple with critical issues, from geopolitical hotspots and the ongoing climate crisis to the complexities of artificial intelligence, examining both its potential and impact on global workers, firms, and markets. This year’s event will unite our catalytic community to tackle these challenges and seize the opportunity to collectively shape our shared future.

The world of sports is evolving to meet the moment with advances in technology and viewership. Super Bowl LVIII shattered records as the most watched telecast in history, reaching more than 123 million viewers. From cultural shifts in where and how fans consume sports to innovations in technology and new models of investment, this discussion will examine the world of sports from the viewpoints of key stakeholders: owners, managers, athletes, and other experts. Join us as we examine how powerhouse sports figures are changing the state of play—as we used to know it—and revolutionizing the industry.

Candace Parker also references Caitlin Clark and her impact on women's basketball and the WNBA during the session.
