2024 Global Symposium on Racing to be Streamed Live on RTN, with All Proceeds Benefitting the Race Track Industry Program

TUCSON, AZ – The University of Arizona’s Race Track Industry Program (RTIP) Global Symposium on Racing, scheduled for December 9 – 11, 2024 and celebrating its 50th year as one of the industry’s largest racing conferences, will be streamed live online, so that those unable to attend the conference in person will still be able to watch the panel sessions. Roberts Communications Network (RCN) will make the stream available on the Racetrack Television Network (RTN), with all proceeds from the sales going back to the RTIP.

“For 50 years now, the Global Symposium on Racing brings together the worldwide racing community to discuss the most important topics in our industry, and we are very excited to deliver it on an international scale,” said RCN and RTN President and CEO Todd Roberts. “All of the money generated by the sales will go back to the RTIP program to help support everything they do for the industry.”

The agenda for this year’s Symposium includes panels on wide ranging topics, including an update on HISA, a discussion of how Artificial Intelligence can transform racing, insights from the global racing arena, a conversation with Hall of Fame trainers and RTIP graduates Bob Baffert and Todd Pletcher, perspectives from the next generation of racing’s future leaders, securing the future of our retired racehorses, and much more.

“We are very excited to once again stream the Symposium through our RCN and RTN partnership,” said RTIP Chair Robert Hartman. “As we approach our milestone 50th Symposium, we continue to see growth in our international audience and understand that travel may not be possible for some. We feel it is crucial to make these important panel sessions available to everyone. We are very appreciative of RCN’s help and especially their generosity in donating all the proceeds back to the Program.”

The live streaming package, which also includes archived sessions of each panel, is available for a $149 purchase on the RTN.tv website, enabling people to watch on tablets, smartphones, and PCs, and on televisions through Roku devices and Amazon Fire TV.
