The inaugural edition of SBC Summit Rio will see 3,000 industry professionals with a keen interest in the Brazilian market convene at the Windsor Convention and Expo Center in Rio de Janeiro from March 5 to 7.

SBC Summit Rio has answered the demands of the industry by being the first industry event to take place in Brazil in the wake of the region’s recent regulation. Serving as Brazil’s senior executive betting and gaming event, SBC Summit Rio will host key industry executives from both regional and international operators alongside affiliates, suppliers, game studios and representatives from regulators, media, sports teams and leagues.

The event will act as the ideal hub for in-depth conversations around the burgeoning Brazilian market, discussing regulatory strategies, innovative technologies and services whilst also reflecting on Brazil’s journey to regulation and exploring future trends set to evolve the dynamic Brazilian landscape.

“Brazil has caught the attention of many in the industry as a dynamic and flourishing market that holds untold possibilities and we are truly honoured to be the first industry event to be held in Brazil since its regulation,” the founder and Chief Executive Officer for SBC, Rasmus Sojmark, said. “With the regulated market still in its infancy, SBC Summit Rio will serve as a pivotal platform for all members of the industry to come together to discuss forward-thinking strategies, forge meaningful partnerships and ultimately push the market forward.”
