LABS to Unveil Latest Economic Impact of Adapted Sports

All In Sport Consulting has unveiled its agenda and speaker lineup for the 6^th Annual Adapted Sport Leadership & Business Symposium (LABS), which will also feature the latest economic impact report on adapted sports. The conference will be held virtually October 29–30 and serves as the intersection of disability, sport and business. LABS attracts leaders, influencers and innovators for critical discussions about the disability movement’s economic and social power.

Topics of discussion will include a look ahead to the 2026 Paralympic Summer Games; advancing sport experiences through disability inclusion; reaching intersectional participants and athletes; and unique perspectives on sport career pathways.

Several event-themed topics will also be part of the program including how mega sporting events can leaving a national disability legacy, the economic impact and community transformation of hosting large, adapted sport events, and how technology can advance gameday experiences for disabled sports fans.

“With two Paralympic Games coming to the United States over the next nine years, the sport business community must understand and engage in what is being called ‘the next great sport investment’ — disability sport,” said Dawna Callahan, founder and CEO of All In Sport Consulting and LABS. “Whether through facility design and renovation, grassroots and youth sport development, hosting accessible sporting events, fan engagement, cutting-edge technology, or product and apparel design, disability is a driving force in shaping the future of sport. LABS is the place to learn and tap into this amazing community of sport leaders and innovators.”

LABS will also release the latest findings from the adapted sport industry’s only economic impact study, conducted by All In Sport Consulting in partnership with Stitch Marketing Research and Huddle Up Group. This year, the findings will be shared during “The Economic Impact and Community Transformation of Hosting Large Adapted Sports Events” session, which will be 9 a.m. MT to 10 a.m. MT October 30.

 LABS 2025 is presented by Florida’s Sports Coast and sponsored by ADA Lift Rentals of America, Lakeshore Foundation, Turnstone, UpLift by Lexia.Solutions, and Visit Fort Wayne.
