Avalanche Summit NYC Day 2 Lineup Features FIFA, Kalshi, Kevin O'Leary

avax opened the doors for day two of Avalanche Summit NYC on 2026-09-17 and published a partial list of the day's highlights, running from a 10:00am slot to a 3:45pm slot.

The agenda leads with MoonPay at 10:00am, followed by Live Nation at 10:45am and Sports Illustrated at 11:05am. The Cleveland Cavs take the stage at 11:25am, with Kevin O'Leary at 12:05pm. The afternoon opens with FIFA at 1:45pm, then Dinari at 2:35pm and a joint session with NEC, UPBOUND and PROGMAT at 2:55pm. Prediction market operator Kalshi closes the published list at 3:45pm.

The lineup reflects the mix of sports, media and institutional finance names Avalanche has assembled for the New York event, which the summit's banner lists as a two-day program across September 16 and 17. Day one featured appearances from BlackRock's Maxwell Stein, Hyundai Card's Heejung Nam and Janus Henderson, which disclosed it had become an Avalanche validator.

What to watch

Several day-two participants are already tied to Avalanche activity: Sports Illustrated's ticketing ambitions onchain were the subject of earlier summit programming, and Dinari operates in tokenized securities. Kalshi's closing slot comes as prediction markets draw increased attention from crypto and traditional finance alike. The summit's banner lists Sept. 17 as the second and final day of the program.
