According to Fortune Business Insights, sports tourism is one of the fastest-growing sectors in the global tourism industry and is expected to total up to $800 billion in 2025–2026, representing approximately 10% of total global tourism expenditure. The sector is experiencing compound annual growth of more than 16% and is projected to surpass $1.3 trillion by 2032.

Hill will discuss the 2029 World University Games, which will be hosted across Cary and central North Carolina, and how the state can best position itself to capitalize on this rapidly growing tourism sector and its significant economic impact.

Doug Edgeton became NCBiotech’s president and CEO in September 2014. He brings extensive executive-level experience in health care from major academic medical centers, research park development and business administration, including an emphasis on community service.

Throughout his career, Edgeton has managed both human resources (talent) and facilities, helping them work in concert to create the right ecosystem for organizational growth. This approach led to more efficient organizations, faster technology transfer and better patient care. Edgeton continues this approach at the Biotech Center, targeting state investment and staff expertise to help North Carolina’s life science companies grow, create jobs, and bring life-changing technologies to market.

At Wake Forest University, he held senior executive, administrative and financial roles with the medical school and health system. Early in his tenure, he and his team developed a strategic planning process and implemented business management principles for the medical school. This laid the groundwork for the Piedmont Triad Research Park and eventually the integration of Wake Forest’s medical school and North Carolina Baptist Hospital.

Edgeton received his B.S. degree from the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, and MPH and MBA degrees from UAB. Edgeton has extensive involvement in professional, community and civic organizations. He lives in Raleigh with his wife. They have two adult children.
