NEXTPredict is set to become the primary media and event platform for the global prediction markets sector.

Expanding its reach into the most rapidly evolving sector of the data economy, NEXT.io has officially launched NEXTPredict.io.

This standalone media brand is accompanied by the announcement of the NEXTPredict Summit NYC, positioned as the premier global gathering for the prediction markets industry.

“The Front Page of Tomorrow”

NEXTPredict aims to serve as the central information hub for a vertical that is transitioning from niche gambling into mainstream finance and policy. Operating under the tagline “The Front Page of Tomorrow,” the platform provides daily independent reporting, interviews, and deep-dive analysis tailored for operators, investors, and infrastructure providers.

The summit is scheduled for October 22 and 23, 2026, at Convene, Hudson Yards. This timing is strategic, occurring shortly before the US midterm elections, which is expected to shape the event’s agenda. Discussions will focus on liquidity, regulation, capital flows, and the technical infrastructure required for the sector to mature in real-time.

Leadership Perspectives on Industry Maturity

Pierre Lindh, Co-founder and MD of NEXT.io, explained the necessity of the new platform:

“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.”

Lindh added that the new brand will leverage the “trusted DNA” of NEXT.io while operating separately to align more closely with financial and data-driven ecosystems. Confirmed speakers for the New York summit include Jeremy Levine (Underdog), Alex Kane (Sporttrade), and Joey Levy (Betr).
