NEXTPredict.io has revealed that Jason Robins, the co-founder and CEO of DraftKings, will be a speaker at its first NEXTPredict NYC conference taking place on October 22–23 at Hudson Yards.
Robins is a pivotal figure in the advancement of regulated sports betting and event-based trading in the United States. His insights will enhance discussions on market structure, liquidity, user engagement, and the growing significance of consumer platforms as prediction markets become increasingly popular.
“Prediction markets are on the brink of significant expansion as finance, media, and technology converge on similar core infrastructures,” stated Robins. He emphasized that real-time markets are becoming integral to the way audiences evaluate information, estimate probabilities, and interact with significant events.
“As regulatory discussions continue to evolve both nationally and globally, the landscape for these markets to become mainstream is advancing swiftly,” Robins remarked. “The leaders gathered here will play a crucial role in molding the future of this category in the coming decade.”
Robins will join notable leaders from Blackstone, Bloomberg Intelligence, Bank of America, and CNBC, making NEXTPredict NYC a pivotal meeting point for executives at the crossroads of finance, forecasting, and emerging market structures.
“Jason’s insights represent one of the most influential operator perspectives in the industry,” said Pierre Lindh, co-founder and managing director of NEXTPredict. “As prediction markets gain traction, the platforms that foster liquidity, trust, and user engagement will fundamentally shape the future of this category. Having his viewpoint at the event is invaluable.”
The conference is expected to attract over 2,500 attendees, including operators, market makers, regulators, vendors, media professionals, and infrastructure providers. Key topics of discussion will include regulation, liquidity, institutional capital flows, forecasting applications, and the media’s role in disseminating market signals.
NEXTPredict NYC is scheduled to occur just weeks prior to the 2026 U.S. midterm elections, a period anticipated to stimulate increased activity across political, economic, and global event markets.
