Summer Ball Summit 2026 runs October 19–20, 2026.

It is held at Hilton Garden Inn Indianapolis Downtown, 10 East Market Street, Indianapolis, Indiana 46204.

Employees of summer wood bat collegiate baseball teams attend, from entry level through management and senior-level positions.

It is worth it for ticket sales, sponsorship and game-day staff at summer collegiate wood bat clubs, since the attendee pool runs from entry level to senior management at such teams and the panels deal with selling tickets and partnerships, the fan experience and concessions. Speakers such as Matt Guay of the Indianapolis Indians and Stephanie Morrell of the Bellingham Bells give peer perspective from the baseball business, but people working outside baseball, or in college programs that are not summer wood bat teams, would find the content too narrow.

Attendees at minor-league and summer-ball front-office workshops usually wear business casual, such as team polos or quarter-zips with slacks or chinos, and some come in team-branded gear.
