SBC Summit North America Introduces Game-Changing AI Matchmaking App, SBC Connect Plus
SBC is proud to introduce SBC Connect Plus, an innovative and improved version of the event app, powered by cutting-edge AI matchmaking technology. Aimed at enhancing the attendee experience by providing personalized solutions, the new app will be used for the first time at the upcoming SBC Summit North America conference and tradeshow.
With SBC Connect Plus, event attendees will have the opportunity to harness the power of artificial intelligence by updating their profiles and preferences, providing the app with the necessary information to deliver on its matchmaking promises. Through sophisticated algorithms, the app will process the information and provide curated meeting suggestions based on attendees’ interests and preferences, facilitating meaningful business connections.
Michael Mandl, Chief Growth Officer at SBC, said: “This marks a significant leap towards enhancing our events, starting with SBC Summit North America. As the rise of AI continues its unstoppable trajectory, we are committed to embracing and leveraging its potential to benefit our attendees. To that end, we are launching an enhanced version of our event app that will streamline the process of identifying relevant leads based on attendees’ areas of interest, along with other perks.
“This app is designed to save time and elevate the overall event experience. This is a significant investment from SBC and we hope to see our attendees embracing this opportunity by downloading the app and updating their information. While AI is undoubtedly powerful, it still relies on people’s input to fulfill its purpose. It’s crucial to provide the app with the necessary information to help it excel in its matchmaking endeavors.”
Exhibitors and sponsors will be granted exclusive early access to the app, allowing them to update their company information with branding elements and documents, such as company brochures. They will also have the ability to add their products and services, supported by video materials, descriptions, and product category tags. Additionally, all companies exhibiting at the event will receive exclusive access to a game-changing on-site lead retrieval tool, enabling them to easily scan attendee badges and utilize AI-powered scoring to assess the quality of leads.
Registered attendees will receive a personalized invitation to the event app, providing them with the opportunity to update their personal information and interests. App users will be able to effortlessly search companies, people, and products, and identify ideal business partners that align with their specific needs, thus maximizing networking opportunities at the event.
This robust platform will facilitate the exchange of information prior to the event, allowing exhibitors, sponsors, and attendees to enhance their brand visibility and personal profiles in a visually compelling and informative manner, and making them easily discoverable by fellow event attendees through the app’s powerful search functionality.
Those who download the app will get to elevate their networking experience by utilizing the app’s advanced Engagement Hub, which enables them to effortlessly identify and connect with relevant attendees, schedule 1-1 meetings by sending out meeting requests, all within the app without the need for external searches for contact details. Each attendee will have a seamless view of meeting requests sent and received, with the ability to swiftly approve or decline them based on relevance. The approved meeting requests will then be integrated into their schedule, ensuring a highly efficient experience at the event.
Moreover, registered delegates will have access to the comprehensive conference agenda, enabling them to mark their favorite sessions, seamlessly navigate the exhibition floor during the Summit using the interactive floor map, and stay updated with push notifications to ensure they never miss any important action.
App users will also have the advantage of managing their busy event schedule in one place. They will be able to edit their notification settings and benefit from automated calendar sync to ensure they never miss a conference session or important business meeting they have planned to attend. Additionally, they will receive a timely reminder email with their daily meetings schedule during each conference day, ensuring they stay organized and make the most out of their networking opportunities.
Full-service digital and cloud infrastructure provider to support customers launching in the fast-growing, emerging regulated Brazilian market with its cutting-edge solutions
Continent 8 Technologies, the award-winning managed hosting, connectivity, cloud and cybersecurity provider to the global iGaming and online sports betting industry, is set to launch in Brazil. This strategic expansion aims to address growing customer demand in this rapidly emerging market. The move comes in anticipation of the market’s quick progression towards a comprehensive regulation of its online offering, with an expected launch in the summer of 2024.
Its move into Brazil strengthens its position in the wider Latin America region, where it has taken an ambitious first-to-market approach to deliver tailored solutions to customers in the likes of Colombia, Peru and Puerto Rico. Brazil adds to a private network spanning more than 100 locations across the world, making it one of the Top 20 best connected networks globally.
Operators and suppliers in Brazil will be able to benefit from Continent 8’s full suite of innovative and reliable digital and cloud infrastructure solutions including a Public Cloud, a scalable and cost-effective offering, with a usage-based commercial model to suit the customer.
Customers will also be able to access its Gaming Exchange, a powerful private internet that offers unrivalled speed, capacity, and security, as well as a full suite of cybersecurity solutions designed to combat the ever-changing threat landscape.
Cybersecurity will be a major concern for both operators and suppliers making a move in Brazil as it is a hotbed for cyber-attacks, in addition to the iGaming and online sports betting industry being one of the most vulnerable to attack ahead of healthcare and finance.
Luana Monje, Sales Executive at Continent 8 Technologies, said: “Brazil looks set to be a hugely significant market and one that our customers are keen to explore.
“Digital and cloud infrastructure is the foundation of any successful online business, and we are delighted to be launching in Brazil to support new and existing customers with our solutions and services as they make their move in the market.”
Continent 8 has strategically positioned itself with certified operations in various locations across Latin America. This recent expansion into the Brazilian territory is integral to Continent 8’s long-term Latin American and global growth strategy as the company looks to deliver essential local, technical, and regulatory support in each new and emerging market.
Michael Tobin, Founder and CEO of Continent 8 Technologies, added: “For more than 25 years, we have been supporting customers as they launch into new and growing markets, and we couldn’t be more excited to be doing this in Brazil.
“This is a market that offers tremendous potential to both operators and suppliers, but they must have the right foundation in place to maximise the opportunities on the table. Continent 8 has the experience, expertise, and solutions to help businesses do just that.”
