As soon as you register for Equestricon®, you have punched your ticket to an unprecedented event in racing history. Never before has a racing convention in the United States brought together people from all corners of the industry, putting them face to face with the families, fans and bettors who enjoy the game all year-round.
The inaugural Equestricon® in 2017, held in Saratoga Springs, Ny., was met by widespread enthusiasm from fans, horseplayers, and industry stakeholders. In addition to the event's trade show, fan festival, celebrity appearances and autograph signings, Equestricon® is a platform for the latest innovations in the sport, new media, marketing, wagering technologies, aftercare and discussions on other key issues impacting the future of racing.
Equestricon® provides for a one-of-a-kind networking experience for both those within the industry and people who are looking to get their foot in the door. The convention includes meet-and-greets, breakout sessions, networking sessions, and various other opportunities for attendees to directly engage with professionals and personalities from across all sectors of the racing industry.
At Equestricon®, attendees get the opportunity to see and meet owners, breeders, trainers, jockeys, representatives from farms, veterinarians, sales companies, racing journalists, social media personalities and innovators. All of it occurs in an atmosphere of fun and excitement with live music, bars, an arcade, and plenty of other activities for fans of all interest levels and ages.
Equestricon® truly has something for everyone!
