LA28 Momentum: U.S. Olympic Sport Leaders to Headline at the International Sports Summit 2025

Premier Sports Network is pleased to announce a headline panel at the International Sports Summit 2025 exploring how U.S. National Governing Bodies are preparing for the commercial, cultural, and participation opportunities ahead of the LA28 Olympic Games.

Panel: Maximizing the Moment - Capitalizing on LA28

Speakers:
Max Siegel, Chief Executive Officer, USA Track & Field
Jennifer Lynne Williams, Chief Development Officer, USA Basketball
Jacob Grosser, Chief Operating Officer, USA Swimming

Taking place on Day Two of the Summit at Duke University, this session will examine how three of the United States’ most influential Olympic sport organisations are working to convert the extraordinary visibility of LA28 into long-term, sustainable growth.

Session Focus

With the Olympic and Paralympic Games returning to the United States for the first time in more than 25 years, the coming cycle represents a defining opportunity across participation, fandom, revenue development, and athlete-led storytelling.

This conversation will explore:

  • Building commercial momentum and public engagement in the lead-up to LA28

  • Expanding athlete-first brand building and storytelling

  • Turning Olympic visibility into year-round community and grassroots impact

  • Long-term legacy planning and sustained growth beyond the Games

Why This Conversation Matters

LA28 represents more than a global sporting event. It is a moment that can reshape how the U.S. public connects to Olympic sport, how federations build identity and community, and how athletes are positioned as cultural leaders. Each organisation on this panel brings a distinct strategic model:

  • USA Track & Field: Sponsorship-driven commercial growth and major event legacy

  • USA Basketball Foundation: Community engagement, youth development, and philanthropic expansion

  • USA Swimming: Membership-driven systems and nationwide performance pathways

Together, their approaches offer a rare, cross-sport view of how to create lasting cultural and economic impact from a once-in-a-generation moment.
