SBC Summit Americas 2026 will take place from June 9–11 at the Broward County Convention Center in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, bringing together the betting and gaming industry from across the Americas. Early badge collection will be available on Tuesday, June 9 at the venue from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM. That same evening, invited guests attending the SBC Leaders Americas Dinner will gather at the Coral Ballroom at Pier Sixty-Six from 6:00 PM to 11:00 PM. For most attendees, the event experience begins on Tuesday, June 9, with the Official SBC Summit Americas Opening Party at The Wharf. Please note: Access to evening networking events is reserved for Networking and VIP Pass holders. Affiliate and Operator Passes are considered equivalent to VIP, meaning holders can also attend. Exhibitors and sponsors receive a number of VIP tickets as part of their packages, so unless your pass explicitly states otherwise, you will have access to these events. The main conference and exhibition take place on Wednesday, June 10 and Thursday, June 11. Attendees can expect a 22,000-square-meter expo floor, five main conference stages, a dedicated breakout stage focused on prediction markets and player protection, and a masterclass room. Throughout both days, the new SBC Connections networking program will provide additional opportunities to meet and engage with industry peers. Alongside the main event, attendees can also take part in the SBC Awards Americas 2026 on Wednesday evening from 7:00 PM to 12:30 PM (separate ticket required), and wrap up the summit at the INFINITY Florida Closing Party at DAER Nightclub & Dayclub on Thursday night from 09:00 PM to 03:00 AM with beats from world-famous DJ, Oliver Heldens (available to Networking and VIP Pass holders).

This year, we’ve introduced a new five-tier ticketing system, designed around the different ways attendees prefer to experience the event. As SBC Summit Americas continues to grow, with more content, experiences, and networking opportunities, a one-size-fits-all approach no longer delivers the value attendees expect. The new ticket structure gives you the flexibility to choose the level of access that best matches your goals, whether you’re here to learn, connect, or enjoy a more premium experience. For 2026, you can choose from the following options: – Expo Pass ($0): As the name suggests, this pass gives you access to the expo floor only. It does not include conference sessions, structured networking, or evening events. A great option if you simply want to explore the exhibition. – Conference Pass ($399): Includes full access to the expo floor and all conference content. This covers five main stages, two dedicated breakout stages focused on prediction markets and player protection, and all masterclasses. It does not include access to structured networking (SBC Connections) or evening events. – Networking Pass ($399): Designed for those focused on making connections. This pass includes access to the structured daytime networking program, SBC Connections, featuring options such as: themed speed networking sessions (The Hive), post-session discussions with speakers (Inner Circle), breakfast and lunchtime roundtables across 14 industry themes (The Briefings) and more. It also includes access to both evening networking parties. – Business Pass ($549): A balanced option combining conference and networking access. This includes everything in both the Conference Pass and Networking Pass, with the exception of evening networking events. – VIP Pass ($799): Our premium tier, offering full access to everything above. This includes conference sessions, structured networking, and evening events, plus additional perks such as complimentary access to the Food Festival and entry to exclusive lounges on the show floor. Attending with 3 or more colleagues? You can save on your VIP ticket! We recommend checking the ticket comparison table and individual ticket pages for a full breakdown of what’s included in each pass type.
