Periculum Sport Goverance & Risk In Sport Conference

Presented by Periculum Sport | Part of the Periculum Security Group
📍 The Oval, London
📅 22 April 2026

The Governance & Risk in Sport Conference brings together senior leaders from sport, finance, law, media, technology and governance to explore the most pressing operational, regulatory and reputational challenges facing elite sport today.

As global sport continues to commercialise at unprecedented speed, clubs, leagues, federations and investors are facing rising exposure to governance failures, integrity threats, cyber risk, regulatory scrutiny and brand vulnerability. This one-day conference is designed to provide decision-makers with real-world insight, strategic frameworks and practical solutions to protect value, reputation and competitive advantage.

Hosted by Periculum Sport, part of the Periculum Security Group, the event will feature expert speakers, case-driven discussion panels and interactive sessions focused on the realities of managing risk at the highest level of professional sport.

Explore how artificial intelligence and advanced data analytics are transforming recruitment, performance management and officiating — alongside the emerging legal, ethical and regulatory risks associated with their use.

Examine the rapid growth of franchise cricket, multi-club ownership models and private equity investment in sport. This session will explore valuation dynamics, ownership structures and the commercial risks facing investors and governing bodies.

Understand how elite clubs and sporting organisations prepare for and respond to high-impact crises including scandals, cyber-attacks, tragic incidents and regulatory enforcement. Learn how reputation can be protected — or lost — in minutes.

Gain insight into internal investigations, integrity processes, regulatory coordination and sponsor risk management. This session focuses on maintaining credibility, compliance and stakeholder trust in an increasingly scrutinised industry.
