About SBC Summit Rio 2026

About

The First. The Fastest Growing. The Best. SBC Summit Rio made history in 2024 as Brazil’s first industry event following the passage of Law No. 14,790, which reshaped the future of betting and gaming in the country. In 2025, we moved to Riocentro due to overwhelming interest and became the first major industry gathering post-regulation. Attendance surged by 200%, earning us the “Exhibition Growth of the Year” award at the EN Indy Awards 2025. Now, in 2026, SBC Summit Rio is the go-to event for anyone serious about succeeding in Brazil. Whether you’re a licensed operator scaling up, an international brand eyeing entry, a supplier with a product built for Brazil, or an affiliate or influencer driving traffic, this is where your Brazil journey begins (or scales). This edition strengthens Brazil’s ties with the wider LATAM region and features three conference stages, the Affiliate Leaders Summit, the Payment Expert Summit, the iconic INFINITY Rio party, and the fan-favorite Food Festival. Why attend? Because Brazil moves fast, and this event moves even faster.
