Following sharp international growth in 2024, with Latin America attendance up 126%, Asia up 80% with delegates from 30 countries, Africa up 45% with 29 nations represented, and North America up 127%, two additional conference stages were introduced to meet the event’s expanding global appeal.
Each stage will deliver targeted, actionable insights and create market-specific networking opportunities for delegates operating across the covered jurisdictions.
Rasmus Sojmark, Founder and CEO of SBC, said: “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’re 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’s all about continuing the conversations that start on stage with the people most invested in those markets.”
Global Markets Stage
The Global Markets stage is designed for stakeholders looking to optimise their strategies in established, high-value territories where regulatory frameworks are constantly evolving. Across three days, stakeholders can attend a series of panels focusing on key regions, including Latin America and Brazil, Western Europe, and North America.
Tuesday – Latin America & Brazil Focus: The opening day will examine Latin America’s diverse landscape, from maximising Brazil’s post-regulation opportunities to the latest developments in markets such as Mexico and Peru.

Wednesday – Western Europe Deep Dive: The second day will shift focus to Western Europe’s evolving regulatory landscape, examining how businesses can tackle compliance challenges while leveraging new opportunities. Sessions will address the growing threat of black markets, Italy’s revamped online gambling framework, the Netherlands’ increased regulatory requirements, and potential pathways for iGaming expansion into Finland and the broader Nordic region.
Thursday – North America Analysis: The final day will examine US expansion opportunities following rapid iGaming growth across multiple states. These sessions will explore the rise of alternative betting models, including sweepstakes and prediction markets, alongside the growing popularity of peer-to-peer betting in the region.

Tuesday – Africa Innovation: The opening day will explore mobile-first innovation strategies that are reshaping the African gaming landscape. Sessions will cover payment infrastructure challenges, how operators can successfully engage stakeholders at a local level, and the importance of player protection in the region.
Wednesday – Expansion in Eurasia & the Middle East: Day two will focus on business expansion opportunities in Eurasia, with exciting growth prospects emerging across the Caucasus, Central Asia, and the Balkans. Sessions will also examine the potential for expansion into the Middle East, with panels analysing the UAE’s move towards introducing a gambling framework in the region.
Thursday – Asia Growth Potential: The closing day will examine market entry tactics for Asia’s diverse regulatory environments, with sessions covering licensing pathways, cultural localisation, and strategies for long-term, sustainable growth across key markets like India, the Philippines, and Macau.
