SBC Summit Malta (previously known as CasinoBeats Summit) is broadening its scope to encompass every corner of the industry.
Alongside its emphasis on game development, marketing, and affiliation—all hallmarks of its predecessor—SBC Summit Malta will now provide insights into sports betting, payments, and regulation, touching on key European markets.
What does this mean? It means that SBC Summit Malta is now shaping up to be an event that serves companies and professionals across the entire gambling industry!
With an increase in scope, delegates have even more chances to gain a greater understanding of the topics that matter most to them. But with so many panels and workshops on offer, understanding what panels are right for you can be a challenge.
In this blog post, we will provide an overview of the key panels relevant to operator teams, affiliates and suppliers.
Panels for Operators
From affiliate managers to legal teams, operators are made up of many different departments, each with their unique challenges and goals.
Now, you may think bringing members of each team would be overkill, but that is where you’re mistaken.
With an expanded agenda, SBC Summit Malta ensures educational opportunities for every team member—from the latest HR trends in 2025 (one for your HR team) to navigating advertising bans (for marketeers) and discussions on the future of gamification (operations team).
