"I always enjoy SBC, I think their panels are really well crafted to be both interesting and informative. I think the panel we did today on Diversity & Inclusion and environment ESG principles as it impacts the industry has a lot of resonance. People are beginning to pay more attention". (SBC Summit North America, 2021)
Jan-Jones Blackhurst, Caesars Entertainment Board Member
"We found it to be great for us and then so many people to interact with and network with. And this has been the most important thing for us to come here, show ourselves - what we do and meet and greet with people".
Bjorn Krantz, CEO, Yggdrasil Gaming Ltd
"Part of this week has been educational, and it's the 'what are other people doing?', 'what are we missing?', 'what do we need to be doing?' It's nice that SBC can bring together these figureheads and stakeholders to actually say: 'this is how we do it,' and you can learn from that. And it's an industry where you can only learn if you share ideas." (Betting on Sports Europe, 2021)
Elliott Banks, UK Regional Director for B2B operations, Betconstruct
"This is a great event, great conference. You've got a lot of people coming from all over the world to learn what is the state of the art of the industry and it's a great venue to network with colleagues". (SBC Summit North America)

"I always think there are 2 sides to SBC, 1 is the education sessions, going to some of the panels - but also just to network as well to look for new opportunities. So yes, very excited to be here!" (SBC Summit Barcelona 2021)
