Manifest is launching a sports marketing awards and summit. Called Manifest Play, the half-day summit is scheduled for the first half of April 2025. 

According to a Google and Deloitte report, India's sports ecosystem is poised to reach USD 130 billion by 2030. While cricket continues to prevail, 90% of fans embrace multi-sport consumption. Kabaddi and football are also growing, and given the recent emergence of sports like padel and pickleball, along with the ongoing Kho Kho World Cup, interest in sports is at an all time high.

Manifest Play aims to help brands and media prepare for the future, while celebrating the best work in the sports marketing arena over the last 14 months. Entries for the awards will be opening shortly with the best pieces of work first released between 1 January 2024 and 31 January 2025 in contention to be rewarded.

More details around the summit and awards will be revealed in due course.
