As part of the 2026 Local Content Summit, the Sports, Entertainment and Real Estate Breakfast brings together leaders from public and private sectors to explore how compliance with local and domestic content requirements is transforming development and investment across sports, entertainment, and real estate projects.

This session delivers a roadmap for project owners, developers, and policymakers to turn compliance into a competitive advantage through measurable performance in small business participation, job creation, and community benefit investments.

The event highlights how stadiums, arenas, mixed-use districts, hotels, entertainment venues, and large-scale events are now treated as critical real estate and economic assets—with local supply chains, workforce pipelines, and community benefit agreements built into every stage of development. Participants will hear from experts, exchange best practices, and connect with partners driving innovation and accountability across the industry.
