SBC has signed a new long-term agreement confirming Lisbon as the host city of SBC Summit through 2030, formalising the organiser’s commitment to the Portuguese capital for its flagship event.
The agreement, signed with Turismo de Portugal, the Municipality of Lisbon and Lisboa FCE, a non-profit association that manages major exhibition and congress venues in the city, extends SBC’s commitment to the city beyond the previously confirmed 2027 edition, with dates and support now agreed for 2028, 2029 and 2030.
The deal reflects a shared ambition to grow the Summit’s international reach and cement Lisbon’s position as its home through 2030. The combination of Feira Internacional de Lisboa and MEO Arena gives SBC the scale to continue delivering the exhibition, conference, networking and entertainment programme that has become central to the event.
Rasmus Sojmark, Founder & CEO of SBC, says: “We are happy to formalise the way we feel by committing to this city until 2030. Onwards and upwards.
“The agreement gives SBC and our attendees and partners the stability to plan and invest for the future.
“Knowing exactly where we will be and for how long means we can keep pouring everything into making the Summit bigger, better and more valuable for everyone who comes through the doors.”
The agreement was signed on the final day of SBC Summit, with officials in attendance including Gonçalo Reis, Vice President, City of Lisbon; Maria Luísa Aldim, Deputy Mayor for Innovation Social Development; António Ramalho, President of the Executive Board, FIL; Carlos Oliveira, Member of the Executive Board, FIL; and Teresa Monteiro, Member of the board, Turismo de Portugal.
António Ramalho adds: “We are committed to working alongside SBC, supporting its ambitions and creating the conditions for the Summit to continue growing in Lisbon.
“Events of this scale and international reach are key to positioning Lisbon, Parque das Nações and FIL at the forefront of the global events industry, reinforcing our city’s ability to attract and successfully host some of the world’s leading events.”
SBC Summit returns to Feira Internacional de Lisboa and the MEO Arena on September 21st to 23rd, 2027. More information is available HERE
