A chair and a charter
Every group is chaired by a member and works from a one-page charter: scope, goals for the year, and what it will publish.
GENEXSIS Summit 2026 — registration is open
November 9–10 at the GTRI Conference Center in Atlanta. Member, student, and group rates available.
Members set the agenda
Each Special Interest Group is a member-led group working one corner of the sports technology industry — naming the hard problems, publishing what it learns, opening doors.
Ten groups · open to members
↓How it works
Six working sessions a year
Sessions rotate between member sites and campuses. Working, not watching — agendas come from the group itself.
Output the ecosystem can use
Problem statements feed the incubator roadmap; findings become briefings, summit sessions, and pilot calls.
