The booth featured a football-inspired design aligned with the ongoing global football season, attracting engagement from operators, affiliates, suppliers and media representatives throughout the event.

During the exhibition, the team held meetings with industry partners to discuss product development across casino, sportsbook and crypto-native entertainment verticals, as well as broader market expansion and regional growth strategies.

Conversations also focused on evolving player engagement models, content distribution and collaboration opportunities across regulated markets, with particular attention to long-term industry trends and partner ecosystems.

The event marked CEO Kar Kheng Giam’s first European trade show appearance since his appointment earlier this year, where he joined the business development team in discussions with key stakeholders and partners.

SBC Summit 2026 will host one of the most high-profile keynote sessions ever staged in Europe by bringing together three of the most influential figures in global sports business: Basketball icon, investor, and philanthropist Michael Jordan, Sportradar founder and CEO Carsten Koerl, and DraftKings co-founder, CEO, and chairman of the board Jason Robins, hosted by former Sky Sports News presenter, broadcaster, and journalist, Kirsty Gallacher.

The headline keynote, titled “Leadership in Sports Business,” will take place on Tuesday 29 September on the first day of SBC Summit 2026 in Lisbon and will explore the evolution of sports, technology, media, data, and fan engagement through the perspective of three leaders who have helped shape the modern sports ecosystem.

As part of the discussion, the connection between sports betting and iGaming will be examined, highlighting how the two sectors are increasingly operating in parallel and in collaboration. Broader leadership themes will also be explored including building global businesses at scale, decision‑making under pressure, and how leaders navigate change across fast‑moving sports and technology markets.

SBC CEO and Founder Rasmus Sojmark described the session as a defining moment for the event.

“This is the kind of conversation that transcends our industry. To have Michael Jordan, Carsten Koerl, and Jason Robins on stage together is something truly special. These are individuals who have each changed the way people engage with sports and business in completely different ways — through performance, technology, innovation, and vision. Bringing them together at SBC Summit reflects both the scale of where this industry is today and where it is heading,” said Sojmark.

SBC Summit 2026 will take place in Lisbon and is expected to welcome over 40,000 industry professionals from across sports, betting, gaming, payments, marketing, affiliation, technology, and media.

Additional details regarding the keynote session, including timing and attendee access, will be announced in the coming months.
