Registration Open for 2026 Global Symposium on Racing

Registration is now open for the 2026 Global Symposium on Racing, taking place December 7-9, 2026, at Loews Ventana Canyon Resort in Tucson, Arizona. For more than 50 years, the Global Symposium on Racing has served as the industry's premier conference where horse racing stakeholders from around the world gather to discuss the sport's most important issues and emerging opportunities. The 2026 Symposium will feature expanded Monday programming with additional educational sessions and networking opportunities. Over three days, attendees will participate in timely panel discussions, hear from influential industry leaders, and explore topics impacting the future of horse racing. A full agenda and speaker lineup will be announced later this summer. Beyond educational programming, the Symposium continues to serve as the racing industry's most important business and networking event. Industry leaders, racetrack executives, technology companies, regulators, and stakeholders use the conference to conduct meetings, build partnerships, discuss new business opportunities, and strengthen professional relationships. From sponsorship discussions and sales meetings to strategic planning conversations, the Symposium provides a unique environment where meaningful business gets done. "The Global Symposium continues to be the one place where every segment of the racing industry comes together for honest conversation, innovative thinking, and meaningful collaboration," said Robert Hartman, Chair of the University of Arizona Race Track Industry Program. "The Symposium is the place for racing organizations to connect, conduct business, and create partnerships that will move the industry forward." The Symposium supports the University of Arizona Race Track Industry Program (RTIP), one of the world's leading academic programs dedicated to the business of horse racing. Complimentary registration is once again available to all RTIP alumni. To register for the Symposium and for Loews Ventana Canyon Resort room reservations, visit www.racingsymposium.com.
