Networking

Overview

WELCOME TO THE NEXT CHAPTER

Meet the People You Came to Meet

Everyone networks differently. And everyone comes with different people they want to meet, whether that’s regulators, government representatives, operators, lotteries, Crown corporations, Tribal and First Nations gaming leaders, or suppliers.

With 50 US states, 10 Canadian provinces and a wide range of business models and regulatory frameworks, SBC Summit North America gives you the opportunity to build relationships beyond your usual market and professional circles.

That’s why our networking program is designed to help you meet the people most relevant to your business. From structured daytime activities and dedicated networking opportunities to lively evening events and pre-arranged meetings through the SBC Connect app, there are plenty of ways to make those introductions happen.

NETWORKING FORMATS

Your Connections, Your Way

SBC Connect Meets

Get ahead of the game. With SBC Connect Meets, you can identify the people you want to meet, start conversations and arrange one-to-one meetings in our dedicated SBC Connect Lounge before you even arrive. Walk in with a plan and your most important conversations already in the diary, and leave the stress to everyone else.

Speed Networking

How many connections can you make in under an hour? It turns out, it’s quite a few! Speed Networking brings you face-to-face with professionals from across North American gaming through fast-paced, themed meetings. With just minutes to make an impression before moving on, it's your chance to meet new faces and open doors to unexpected opportunities.

Meetups

Sometimes, the best conversations happen when you're surrounded by people who just get it. Our Meetups bring together stakeholders from across North American gaming to discuss shared interests, exchange experiences, and tackle common challenges. Find the topics that matter to you and connect with people who speak your language.

Show Floor Tours

Our guided Show Floor Tours take the guesswork out of exploring SBC Summit North America. Embark on a guided tour and explore key components of a gaming operation, allowing you to discover and get personally introduced to relevant solution providers and make the most of every minute on the show floor.

Smart Connect

Some conversations are too important to leave to chance. Smart Connect is an invite-only program that brings buyers and suppliers together through targeted, pre-arranged meetings. Designed for those with clear business goals and those who know how to meet them, it offers a more focused way to connect with relevant companies and explore potential partnerships.

EVENING NETWORKING

Connecting After Hours

SBC Summit North America Opening Party

Who says you have to wait for day one to start making connections? Start the week at the SBC Summit North America Opening Party, an evening of conversation, drinks and music in the heart of Toronto. Reconnect with industry friends and break the ice with those you'll be sharing the show floor with over the coming days. You can even collect your conference badge early, meaning less time queuing on day one.

Post Show Networking

Just because the show floor closes for the day doesn't mean the conversations have to end. Whether it's an SBC party, an exclusive industry dinner or finding a quiet spot to catch up, SBC Summit North America offers plenty of ways to keep the business conversations flowing after hours.

SBC Summit North America Closing Party

Two days of conversations, new opportunities and learning deserve a proper send-off. The SBC Summit North America Closing Party brings the industry together for one final evening of celebration. Raise a glass to the relationships you've built, enjoy the atmosphere and finish your Toronto experience on a high note. After all, great work deserves a great party.
