SBC Summit Lisbon 2025: Shaping the Future of iGaming
Returning to Lisbon, SBC Summit will present a reimagined agenda designed to better serve a global audience. It will have a powerful new focus on market diversity, technological innovation, and actionable, real-world learning.
Building on the success of its Lisbon debut, SBC Summit will return to the Feira Internacional de Lisboa and MEO Arena. The event will welcome 30,000 attendees to a six-stage, industry-wide conference agenda spanning global and emerging markets, payments, affiliation, player protection, and new hands-on ‘Operator Academy’ workshops.
Familiar to last year’s attendees and bigger than ever, the Super Stage will also return to the MEO Arena. It will spotlight headline sessions from the industry’s biggest names. It includes movers and shakers from emerging markets like Asia, Africa, and Eastern Europe. C-level executives dissecting the Brazilian boom and European, US, and LATAM leaders rethinking regulation, innovation, and customer engagement.
Alongside these powerhouse panels, global thought leaders from beyond the sector will deliver exclusive keynotes offering powerful out-of-industry perspectives. Marketing mogul and serial entrepreneur Gary Vaynerchuk is already confirmed for this year’s programme, following last year’s edition, which welcomed icons such as Tony Hawk, Sir Tim Berners-Lee, Merab Dvalishvili, and Laura Woods.
SBC Summit 2025: Bigger, Smarter And With More Surprises
The 2025 edition will focus on fine-tuning every aspect of the attendee journey and strategically balancing buyers and sellers. It aims to deliver the industry’s most results-driven event.
The flagship event, which drew attendees from 134 countries in 2024, will once again transform the Feira Internacional de Lisboa (FIL) and MEO Arena into the global epicentre of the betting and gaming industry from 16-18 September 2025, spanning three full days.
At 135,000+ square meters, the 2025 SBC Summit show floor will be its largest ever, featuring 700+ exhibitors. Enhanced signage will streamline navigation, while the zone format will return alongside an expanded Affiliate Leaders Summit and Payment Expert Summit. It will ensure attendees can still count on a more targeted approach and efficient lead generation.
With 8,000+ operator representatives set to attend, SBC Summit 2025 will also double down on delivering a premium, 360-degree experience for the industry’s most in-demand audience. Last year’s survey showed high satisfaction, with operators awarding the event a 60 NPS score. This year, SBC will raise the bar even further, ensuring it remains a must-attend event for every operator team member.
To elevate the operator experience, SBC is introducing the Operator Academy. An exclusive training initiative led by top industry experts and global trainers. With six specialised academies, it delivers practical, hands-on learning in odds-making, gamification, AI, marketing, compliance, and crypto, ensuring attendees gain immediately actionable skills to enhance performance.
The Operator Academy will elevate an already dynamic agenda, making SBC Summit 2025 the most comprehensive edition yet.
