SBC Summit 2025 is introducing two new conference stages, Global Markets and Emerging Markets, offering region-focused insights. This addition comes as the event, running from September 16th to 18th, anticipates over 30,000 attendees from more than 130 countries.
Following significant international growth in 2024, these new stages aim to cater to the expanding global interest. Latin America saw a 126% increase in attendance, Asia 80%, Africa 45% and North America 127%. These statistics highlight the need for targeted dialogues and networking opportunities, and the new stages are designed to meet this demand.
Rasmus Sojmark, Founder & CEO of SBC, says: “SBC Summit is now a truly global meeting point, so building an agenda that reflects that was the natural next step.
“With the addition of the Global Markets and Emerging Markets stages, we are offering market-specific insights, and the networking lounges attached to each stage let delegates connect immediately with the people driving growth in those regions.
“It is all about continuing the conversations that start on stage with the people most invested in those markets.”
The Global Markets stage is crafted for stakeholders aiming to refine their strategies in established regions with evolving regulatory landscapes. Over the three-day event, sessions will cover key areas including Latin America, Brazil, Western Europe and North America.
On Tuesday, the focus will be on Latin America and Brazil, examining the post-regulation opportunities in Brazil and recent developments in Mexico and Peru. Discussions will include market entry strategies and successful partnership models within the diverse regulatory frameworks of these regions.
Wednesday shifts to Western Europe, where evolving regulations present both challenges and opportunities. Topics will include Italy’s new online gambling framework, the Netherlands’ regulatory changes and potential iGaming expansion into Finland and the Nordic region.
Thursday will spotlight North America, where rapid iGaming growth across multiple states presents numerous expansion opportunities. Sessions will explore alternative betting models like sweepstakes and prediction markets, as well as the rise of peer-to-peer betting.
The Emerging Markets stage will highlight regions with promising growth potential, such as Africa, Eurasia, the Middle East and Asia. Tuesday will focus on Africa, exploring how mobile-first innovation is transforming the gaming landscape, along with discussions on payment infrastructure and player protection.
On Wednesday, attention turns to Eurasia and the Middle East, examining business expansion prospects in the Caucasus, Central Asia and the Balkans, as well as the UAE’s steps towards establishing a gambling framework.
Thursday will delve into Asia’s growth potential, focusing on market entry strategies, licensing and cultural localization for key markets like India, the Philippines and Macau.
The Global Markets and Emerging Markets stages make up two of the six conference stages at SBC Summit 2025. These include dedicated stages for Technology, Affiliation, Player Protection and the Super Stage.
