Former President Obama is slated to address the MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference in Boston in February, organizers announced Friday.

Obama will join speakers including FiveThirtyEight's Nate Silver, NBA commissioner Adam Silver and former New York Yankee Alex Rodriguez at the conference, which serves as a gathering of influential figures in sports analytics, media and business.

The topic of the former president's speech has not been released, though Obama proved to be an avid sports fan throughout his time in office.

Obama often filled out NCAA brackets while he was president and hosted a series of sports teams during his tenure in the White House as part of an annual tradition.

The former president has kept a public profile since leaving office nearly a year ago. He has been active in the launch of the Obama Foundation and campaigned for some special election candidates last year.

Obama interviewed with Britain's Prince Harry late last month in what was billed as the former president's first interview since leaving the White House.

Obama made headlines in the interview when he warned against the misuse of social media, a comment that many took to be a reference to President Trump Donald John TrumpHR McMaster says president's policy to withdraw troops from Afghanistan is 'unwise' Cast of 'Parks and Rec' reunite for virtual town hall to address Wisconsin voters Biden says Trump should step down over coronavirus response MORE.
