Media Troopers enters prediction markets and books three NYC events in 2026

Media Troopers said it is expanding into the prediction markets sector and will send business and executive teams to three prediction market-focused events in New York City in 2026.

The company’s announced schedule includes Predict Conference at the New York Marriott Marquis (Oct. 6-7), NEXTPredict NYC (Oct. 22-23), and Predict 2026 at The Times Center (Dec. 7-9).

"The wagering landscape is undergoing a massive structural shift," said Shmulik Segal, CEO of Media Troopers. "What used to be a niche, side-panel discussion at gaming shows has taken over the main stage. Consumers are demanding the ability to trade positions on macroeconomics, pop culture, and current events with the same ease they bet on a point spread. By establishing a dominant presence at these dedicated summits, Media Troopers is positioning itself to lead the affiliate space in traffic acquisition, contextual campaign publishing, and operator partnerships for this dynamic demographic."

Media Troopers said its goals at the events include pursuing early-stage partnerships with regulated exchanges, exploring white-label liquidity integrations, and scaling marketing funnels aimed at a “retail trader” audience. The company also framed the move as aligned with operators seeking to grow non-sports verticals ahead of Q4.
