DraftKings CEO Jason Robins to keynote NEXTPredict NYC
NEXTPredict NYC, described as the world's first dedicated prediction markets summit, has announced that DraftKings CEO Jason Robins will deliver a keynote address on the future of prediction markets. The event is scheduled for June 2026. The announcement signals DraftKings' continued public engagement with the prediction markets sector beyond its core sportsbook business. The speaker lineup also includes founders from Kalshi, plus confirmed speakers from CNBC, Bloomberg, Crypto.com, Blackstone, and Bank of America. The organizers have not released the specific date within June, the venue, or details about the conference agenda.
DraftKings' top executive taking a keynote slot at a prediction markets summit puts the sportsbook operator's brand at the center of an emerging asset class it does not yet trade. Any product launch by DraftKings in prediction markets would arrive with the credibility of a CEO who has already keynoted its flagship conference.
