The 51st Annual Global Symposium on Racing returns December 8--10, 2025, at Loews Ventana Canyon Resort in Tucson, Arizona, bringing together leaders, innovators, and stakeholders from across the globe to address the future of horse racing.
For more than five decades, the Symposium has served as the sport's most influential international gathering, offering a forum where industry decision-makers share strategies, explore challenges, and highlight opportunities for growth.
This year's program will spotlight the forces reshaping the industry and the solutions needed to prosper in a rapidly evolving landscape. Topics include examining the racing business model, the rise of prediction markets, thoroughbred breeding trends, and supporting mental wellness. A highlight of the agenda will be "Straight From Repole: An Unfiltered Look at Racing's Future," featuring candid insights from entrepreneur, businessman, and racehorse owner Mike Repole.
The Symposium also offers specialized workshops on Monday, December 8, including sessions on artificial intelligence, dispute resolution, media training, and data security. These interactive forums provide practical takeaways for racing and gaming professionals across all sectors.
"The Symposium has always been where racing's most important conversations happen," said Robert Hartman, Chair of the University of Arizona Race Track Industry Program. "This year, we're proud to continue that tradition with sessions designed to inform, challenge, and inspire."
