2025 Global Symposium on Racing

The 2025 Global Symposium on Racing—hosted by the University of Arizona’s Race Track Industry Program—will take place December 8–10, 2025, at the scenic Loews Ventana Canyon Resort in Tucson, Arizona. For more than 50 years, this premier international gathering has united leaders, innovators, and stakeholders from across the horse racing industry to address its most significant challenges and explore new ideas shaping the sport’s future.

This year’s Symposium features an ambitious program:

• Two dozen panel sessions

• More than 80 expert speakers

• Three days of discussion, analysis, and networking

Attendees will engage in thought-provoking conversations covering industry regulation, racing integrity, technology, wagering trends, business strategy, and the evolving global racing landscape.

Although the host hotel is sold out, the event provides additional nearby lodging options to accommodate participants.

Organized under the University of Arizona’s College of Agriculture, Life and Environmental Sciences, the Symposium continues its long-standing mission to foster insight, collaboration, and progress within the racing community.
