DraftKings CEO Jason Robins to keynote NEXTPredict NYC
DraftKings CEO Jason Robins will deliver a keynote address on the future of prediction markets at NEXTPredict NYC in June 2026, according to the event's announcement. NEXTPredict NYC is billed as the world's first dedicated prediction markets summit. The speaker lineup also includes founders from Kalshi, plus confirmed speakers from CNBC, Bloomberg, Crypto.com, Blackstone, and Bank of America. The announcement signals DraftKings' continued public engagement with the prediction markets sector beyond its core sportsbook business. NEXTPredict did not provide location or agenda details in its promotional materials.
Robins' spot on the main stage gives DraftKings a branding advantage over Kalshi, Polymarket, and the institutional desks now building liquidity infrastructure as the prediction markets sector courts mainstream finance and retail users simultaneously.
