The forum behind cricket's
next chapter.

A focused day connecting evidence, practical examples, technology demonstrations and direct conversations.

10 November 2026 Lord's Cricket Ground, London

Why the forum exists.

Cricket has more data, research and technology at its disposal than ever. The challenge is no longer simply what is possible, but what is useful, credible and practical in real performance environments.

Research, product development and day-to-day practice often move in separate circles. The Cricket Innovation Forum brings those perspectives together, giving the people developing, evaluating and using new ideas a place to compare evidence, challenge assumptions and learn from one another.

A forum built around application.

Evidence, practical examples, technology demonstrations and direct conversations.

Technology isn't valuable simply because it is new. The Forum examines where it can improve decisions, practice and player outcomes, what the evidence supports and what still needs proving.

Main-stage discussions frame the bigger questions. Focused breakouts explore the detail. Demonstrations put products and methods into context. Direct conversations connect the people developing new approaches with those responsible for applying them across the game.

The aim is for attendees to leave with a clearer view of what is useful now, what needs further validation and which ideas and relationships are worth taking forward.

Who should attend.

Teams, franchises, academies and governing bodies
Coaches, performance leaders, analysts and sports scientists
Medical, rehabilitation and player-welfare teams
Researchers translating evidence into practice
Technology founders, product teams and established providers
Independent schools and indoor cricket centres
