SBC Summit Rio releases preliminary agenda with big names from Brazil and global iGaming markets

The SBC Summit Rio takes place from March 5th to 7th, 2024, when the most renowned professionals in the iGaming industry will focus on the increasingly captivating Brazilian market. The event will address regulatory frameworks, localized product offerings, operator-media relations, sporting integrity, data rights and sponsorship opportunities. The organization publishes a preliminary agenda with big names and companies.

The purpose of SBC Summit Rio is to provide unparalleled insights into the dynamic Brazilian market, bringing together senior executives from Brazil and the world. More than 3 thousand professionals from the sector are expected, around 900 operators, 300 affiliates and 100 speakers, in addition to a fair space that intends to bring together more than 70 renowned industry exhibitors.

On the first day (March 5th), registration of participants and collection of badges is scheduled, while those registered will be able to enjoy the traditional welcome and networking cocktail held by the organizers.

From 10 am on the 6th, the exhibition, where more than 70 exhibitors are expected, will open and, throughout the period, the hospitality service in the conference hall will serve breakfast, lunch and drinks.
