Worth convenes athletes, investors, and industry leaders in Florida on April 30, 2026, for Beyond the Game, a summit exploring ownership, enterprise building, and the evolving athlete economy.
Across Worth’s editorial lens, sports has become a powerful entry point into larger conversations around business, capital, and influence. What happens on the field is only part of the story. Increasingly, the real movement is happening off it.
Worth’s coverage focuses on that shift. We examine how athletes, leagues, and operators are building companies, shaping markets, and redefining ownership. From athlete-led ventures and investment strategies to the executives driving innovation across global sports platforms, our reporting centers on the infrastructure behind the industry and the people turning visibility into long-term enterprise.
We’ve followed figures like Joe Montana as he transitions into venture capital, explored Russell Wilson’s entrepreneurial approach through his ‘Why Not You’ platform, and highlighted leaders such as Lorine Pendleton who are reshaping access and opportunity in sports investing. Our reporting spans topics from sports sponsorships as a new frontier in brand engagement to innovation in global competitions like Formula One and the Ryder Cup, as well as the growing influence of women across every level of the sports industry.
Whether examining athlete-led ventures, the rise of ownership stakes, or the expanding role of media and technology in sports, Worth continues to cover the evolution of sports as a serious business ecosystem.
Worth is pleased to announce that Beyond the Game will take place on April 30, 2026, in Fort Lauderdale during Miami Grand Prix week. The event will bring together a curated group of athletes, investors, executives, and operators to explore how today’s athletes are transforming from performers into entrepreneurs, investors, and institution builders.
Anchored by the debut of Worth’s Beyond the Game List, the program centers on the shifting dynamics of the athlete economy. Conversations will explore how athletes are building enterprises, taking ownership stakes, shaping media platforms, and creating long-term impact through both business and philanthropy.
This year’s program will examine themes including the transition from endorsements to enterprise building, the move from passive investing to active ownership and governance, and the growing importance of athlete-owned media and direct-to-consumer platforms. It will also explore how athletes are structuring philanthropic efforts with measurable outcomes, and what it means to build a lasting legacy beyond competition.
At this year’s Beyond the Game event, we have already begun assembling a group of dynamic speakers. We are thrilled to welcome Lorine Pendleton, Founder & Managing Partner at 125 Ventures; Chase Winovich, CEO & Founder of Signet; Sheldon Day, Co-Founder and President of The Players Company and NFL veteran; Lisa C. Willis, former WNBA player, NBA coach, and Founder of Ballin’ Beyond; Allyson Davis, Founder of Allez! Sports; and Alex Magleby, President of Major League Rugby, Javier Sanchez, DCC Executive Director of the Miami Dolphins; Ged Tarpey, Managing Director of the Baller League and Nicholas Lord Co-Founder & CEO of NOCAP Sports.
