NEXTPredict.io announced that Jason Robins, co-founder and CEO of DraftKings, will speak at its inaugural NEXTPredict NYC conference on Oct. 22–23 at Hudson Yards.
Robins has been a central figure in the development of regulated sports betting and event-based trading in the United States. His addition brings an operator-focused perspective to discussions on market structure, liquidity, user adoption, and the expanding role of consumer platforms as prediction markets gain traction.
“Prediction markets are entering a pivotal stage of growth as finance, media and technology continue to converge around the same core infrastructure,” Robins said. He added that real-time markets are becoming increasingly integrated into how audiences interpret information, assess probability, and engage with major events.
“As regulatory conversations continue to evolve nationally and globally, the opportunity for these markets to become more accessible and mainstream is maturing rapidly,” noted Robins. ”The leaders in this room will play an important role in shaping how the category evolves over the next decade.”
Robins joins a lineup that includes senior leaders from Blackstone, Bloomberg Intelligence, Bank of America, and CNBC, positioning NEXTPredict NYC as a gathering point for executives working at the intersection of finance, forecasting, and emerging market infrastructure.
“Jason brings one of the most influential operator perspectives in the industry,” said Pierre Lindh, co-founder and managing director of NEXTPredict. “As prediction markets move further into the mainstream, the platforms building liquidity, trust and user adoption will help shape the future of the category. Having that perspective represented at the event is important.”
The conference will host more than 2,500 participants, including operators, market makers, regulators, vendors, media executives, and infrastructure providers. Discussions will center on regulation, liquidity, institutional capital flows, forecasting applications, and the role of media in distributing market signals
