Thank You for Another Incredible SBC Summit Canada!
A big thank you to all our exhibitors, sponsors, speakers, and attendees for making this year’s SBC Summit Canada another great success!

We were blown away by the energy on the ground, from full conference rooms and constant activity on the expo floor to the many connections that carried on well into the evenings. Canada always delivers something special for us, and this year was no exception.

We welcomed Minister Dale Nally, who shared insights into Alberta’s plans, as well as Stan Cho, Ontario’s Minister of Tourism, Culture and Gaming, alongside a wide range of industry C-levels.

SBC Summit Canada remains the only event fully dedicated to the Canadian market, offering a focused environment for stakeholders who want to engage exclusively on local opportunities. With a legacy spanning more than two decades, it continues to evolve alongside the industry, particularly as new developments such as Alberta’s anticipated launch come into focus.

The event brings together the entire ecosystem, from international operators and Crown corporations to regulators, First Nations-run businesses, affiliates, and the suppliers powering the industry, from game studios to payment providers and beyond.

Next year, SBC Summit Canada will return to its established June position in the calendar, taking place on 15–17 June 2027.

As we look ahead, we encourage early discussions around exhibition, sponsorship, and speaking opportunities for 2027, as availability is limited and demand continues to grow.
