Having presided over the world’s premier hockey league since 1993, Bettman is the longest-serving commissioner in professional sports. Through his leadership, NHL expansion has brought teams to nontraditional hockey markets — including Las Vegas, home of the 2023 Stanley Cup champion Golden Knights — and major broadcasting agreements have increased viewership.

At the Carthage conference, participants can also interact with other top executives like Milwaukee Bucks President Peter Feigin, as well as rising stars in sports management.
