SBC has expanded its presence in Malta by securing a permanent base on the island, which is home to one of its events, the CasinoBeats Summit, for the past six years.
Since the inception of the CasinoBeats Summit, the growth trajectory of the event has been remarkable, evidenced by the surge in delegate numbers, with an anticipated 4,500 attendees expected at this year’s event, scheduled to take place at the InterContinental Hotel from May 21st to 23rd.
Rasmus Sojmark, CEO & Founder of SBC, says: “Malta holds a special place as the hub of iGaming, which is why it is also the destination for the CasinoBeats Summit. Many of our clients and friends call Malta home, and it is important for us to further strengthen our ties with the community.”
SOHO The Strand, the premier co-working business hub where Malta-based employees will be based, offers a plethora of amenities. From a sauna and gym to an on-site bar and restaurant, members lounge, gaming area, terraces and beyond, it provides the perfect fusion of work and leisure.
Sojmark adds: “When we were scouting for office space, our priority was to pick an environment that would be ideal for networking and a great base for our Malta-based team members who have been working remotely until now. While we have already worked with SOHO on hosting gatherings, becoming members ensures our meet-ups will be even more frequent.”
With 130 employees and expanding globally, the Malta office will operate alongside SBC’s established bases in London and Manchester, with members from the sales, relationships and content marketing teams stationed on the island – Brandon Spiteri, Affiliate Relationship Manager; Dafne Salvatori, Head of Event Design & Branding; Maria (Masha) Tsnompilantze, Head of Content Marketing; Sharon O’Neill Libreri, Sales Manager; and Sabrina Sammut, Operator Relationship Manager.
Ivan Filetti, CEO of GamingMalta welcomed SBC: “Malta’s status as the Home of Gaming Excellence owes much to the calibre of thought leadership events held on our shores. SBC’s CasinoBeats Summit epitomises our fruitful partnership, driving forward the expansion of the industry locally and globally.
“We are thrilled to learn of their decision to establish operations here, reaffirming their commitment to maintaining a robust connection with Malta year-round. This move underscores Malta’s pivotal role in the gaming ecosystem and strengthens our position as a premier destination for gaming thought leadership and collaboration.”
The new office commenced operations on May 2nd, three weeks ahead of the 2024 CasinoBeats Summit. SBC extends an invitation to companies already part of the SOHO community to visit and greet the Malta team at Office 19, located on Level 3 of the Strand, and will celebrate the office opening during the Official Networking Party at the Infinity by Hugo’s on Wednesday May 22nd.
