The betting industry in the US was upended during the 2024 presidential elections with the first election-based event contracts; just 18 months later, the nation's biggest sportsbooks are chasing a piece of the prediction pie. How did we get here? How did what started over a century ago as economic hedging on events that might impact crops, like the weather, evolve into a potential billion-dollar-a-week vertical? This session is for everyone from prediction market pioneers to those ingenues who've always been afraid to ask - what exactly are prediction markets, how do they work and how are they changing the world we operate in?
