Sport will provide a different lens on business performance at Adminovate this Thursday, May 14th, when the 2026 conference takes place at Trinity College Dublin.
The session, titled Winning Edge – Inside the High-Performance Business of Sport, will look at what the funds industry can learn from elite sport, where pressure, leadership, decision-making and performance are everyday realities.
On stage will be Rob Hartnett of Sport for Business, Matthew Dowling, Chief Commercial Officer at Leinster Rugby, Peter McKenna, Stadium and Commercial Director at Croke Park, and Christina Kenny, Chief Operating Officer at the Football Association of Ireland.
The panel is scheduled for 2:30 PM, and forms part of a full-day Adminovate programme focused on AI and the future of fund operations, with panels, demos, and networking throughout the day.
Adminovate brings together more than 350 professionals from fund administration, fintech, operations and technology, with profits supporting basis point and Trinity Access Programmes.
This is part of an active Sport for Business programme to bring the Sports business story and its leaders to the attention of other sectors across Irish business.
