World Phygital Summit 2025: A Defining Moment for GOTF 2027

World Phygital Summit 2025: A Defining Moment for GOTF 2027

From May 28–30, Phygital International will be hosting the World Phygital Summit 2025 in Dubai, bringing together WPC members, partners, and stakeholders to discuss the milestones of the phygital ecosystem — including the reveal of the host city for the Games of the Future 2027.

Now in its second edition the Summit, which will be held in Dubai in the UAE, builds on a successful inaugural event in Istanbul and will once again bring together leaders shaping the future of phygital. In partnership with the World Phygital Community, the 2025 edition will also offer reflections on the 2024-2025 WPC season and celebrate the impact of phygital tournaments across the globe.

Through a curated programme of keynotes, sessions, and showcases, the World Phygital Summit 2025 will serve as a catalyst for new ideas and strategic collaborations.

Nis Hatt, CEO of Phygital International, said, “Announcing the host city for the Games of the Future 2027 at the World Phygital Summit 2025 will be a defining moment for the phygital movement. With its bold vision, world-class infrastructure, and commitment to innovation, Dubai is the perfect backdrop for this pivotal milestone. We’re thrilled to be bringing the global phygital community together once again as we set the course for the future of phygital sports.”

We look forward to welcoming the global phygital community to Dubai for The World Phygital Summit 2025!
