SBC Summit Latinoamérica will offer extensive agenda to discuss Brazil’s gaming sector

With a packed agenda covering topics related to the iGaming industry, SBC Summit Latinoamérica, taking place next week in Miami, has reserved four special sessions focusing on Brazil, along with a roundtable discussion in which the country will also be in the spotlight for players from around the world. As the entire global gaming market is closely following the regulation of the Brazilian market, Miami will be the ideal place to stay informed.

In all gaming fairs and conferences, especially in the last two years, Brazil has been one of the primary focal points. At SBC Summit Latinoamérica, which starts on October 31 and runs until November 2, a truly special agenda is dedicated to discussing the latest updates on the Brazilian market.

In addition to the four panels focusing on Brazil, a roundtable on technology and emerging markets will feature Andre Gelfi, President of the Brazilian Institute of Responsible Gaming (IBJR), as the moderator. This is expected to attract the attention of players interested in the Brazilian market.
