In February 2024, Sports Data Campus announced Hudl, a global leader in sports performance analysis, as the main sponsor of Sports Data Forum 2024, an event dedicated to Big Data and advanced analytics in football and sport. The in-person opening session was scheduled for 21 March 2024 at Sevilla FC’s Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán Stadium, followed by an online programme extending into June 2024.
Hudl Returns as Main Sponsor of Sports Data Forum 2024
Hudl’s return as main sponsor for a second consecutive year was a source of pride for the Sports Data Campus community. The continued support of an internationally recognised company reflected a relationship built through years of collaboration and shared work.
Video and Data Analysis at the Service of Sport
At the time of the announcement, more than 200,000 teams across over 40 sports worldwide relied on Hudl. By bringing video and data analysis together, Hudl provides insights that help teams prepare for competition and gain an advantage. Its products, features and tools are designed to help coaches and athletes make the most of every moment.
The announcement also highlighted more than six million users, from amateur to professional sport, using Hudl’s software, hardware and services. Its offering included online coaching tools, mobile and desktop applications, smart cameras, analytics and professional consultancy. With more than 3,500 employees across over 17 countries at the time, Hudl was building a global network for sports video and data analysis.
Commenting on the sponsorship ahead of the 2024 event, David Sáez, CEO of Sports Data Campus, said:
“It is a true honour for us that a company of Hudl’s size, reach and recognised standing, and one of the leading players in sports data analysis, is joining our Sports Data Forum for the second consecutive year. With Hudl’s support and collaboration, the event takes on a global dimension, reaching much of the worldwide sports analytics ecosystem.
I would like to take this opportunity to express our deepest thanks to Montserrat García and the entire Hudl team for making this possible and contributing to the development of the world’s largest Spanish-language event dedicated to data analytics applied to sport.
We are convinced that the more than 500 friends gathering in person at the Sánchez-Pizjuán on 21 March will enjoy an outstanding day alongside top-level speakers.
I also want to recognise the several thousand professionals who will follow both the sessions in Seville and the thematic afternoons scheduled through to 24 June via streaming. Their remote participation helps make Sports Data Forum a global reference point and an essential event for the entire sporting community.”
— David Sáez, CEO of Sports Data Campus.
