The company will cut the ribbon on NEXTPredict Summit NYC later this year, taking place on 22 and 23 October at Convene, Hudson Yards.
Positioned as “the leading media and conference company for the prediction markets industry,” NEXTPredict aims to establish itself as the central platform for a sector that is rapidly moving from the fringes into mainstream finance, technology and policy.
The new brand will deliver daily editorial coverage through NEXTPredict.io, offering news, analysis, interviews and opinion tailored to operators, investors and infrastructure providers.
Operating under the editorial tagline “The Front Page of Tomorrow,” the platform will prioritise independent, news-first reporting as the industry matures in real time.
While built by the same team behind NEXT.io, NEXTPredict will operate as a separate brand.
The move reflects a deliberate positioning choice, as prediction markets increasingly seek to distance themselves from traditional gambling and align more closely with financial and data-driven ecosystems.
Pierre Lindh, co-founder and MD of NEXT.io, said: “The prediction markets industry is being formed in real time. What’s been missing is a central platform – a place where leaders, investors and operators come together to shape its future.
“With NEXTPredict, we’re building that home. A media platform that informs the market daily, and a summit that brings together the people driving it forward.
“We’ve spent more than a decade building trusted media and events businesses through NEXT.io. Now we’re applying that same DNA to a new industry that demands credibility, clarity and high-level connection.”
A return to New York City
Alongside the media launch, NEXT.io has confirmed the creation of the NEXTPredict Summit NYC, the world’s prediction markets summit.The event will bring together C-level executives, founders, investors and policymakers for two days of business-focused networking and content.
In line with NEXT.io’s established model, the summit will prioritise deal-making and high-value connections, supported by a curated programme of discussions.
The 2026 edition will take place shortly before the US midterm elections, a timing that will shape elements of the agenda.
Other sessions will focus on core industry topics such as liquidity, regulation, infrastructure, product development and capital flows.
Confirmed speakers for the inaugural event include Underdog CEO and co-founder Jeremy Levine, Sporttrade CEO Alex Kane and Betr founder Joey Levy, among others.
NEXTPredict is built on four core pillars: prestige, credibility, authority and leadership.
The company is positioning the summit as a must-attend event for senior decision-makers, supported by a media platform designed to become the industry’s primary source of information.
The launch comes at a time of increasing institutional interest in prediction markets, with growing engagement from investors, regulators and consumers globally.
As the sector matures, the need for independent media coverage and high-level industry forums is becoming more pronounced.
NEXTPredict.io is now live, with daily editorial coverage underway. Further details on the NEXTPredict Summit NYC will be announced in the coming months.
Under the tagline “Where the Smart Money Goes,” NEXT.io is certain that prediction markets are no longer a side conversation – but a defining category in the making.
