The Greatest Show in Gaming
21 – 23 September 2027
Feira Internacional de Lisboa
Thank you for Attending SBC Summit 2026
This was indeed the Greatest Show in Gaming. An event that lived up to its tagline.
The 2026 edition was a major success, both for us as organisers and for the thousands of attendees, exhibitors, sponsors, speakers and partners who made it what it was. Thank you for showing up, making the most of every opportunity and helping us create something that feels genuinely special for this industry. The scale of this year’s event, the breadth of opportunities, and the sheer volume of options and possibilities were genuinely impressive, and something we worked incredibly hard to deliver. Whether you came with the hardcore goal of closing deals, finding new clients, learning something new, discovering new products, or meeting people who could help you move your business forward, there was an opportunity to do exactly that. Save the date for 2027. Lisbon will keep delivering.

SBC SUMMIT AT A GLANCE
Show Floor
One of the largest and most diverse showcases of products and platforms the industry has ever seen. Home to 800+ exhibitors and sponsors, the show floor is split into themed areas to make everything easy to find, with dedicated showcases like the Startup Hub and Player Protection Zone, plus networking and themed lounges offering plenty of comfortable ways to connect.
Networking
The networking programme was revamped in 2026 to make it easier to find and connect with the right people, whatever your goals. From speed networking and one-to-one meetings through SBC Connect to an evening agenda that brings the fun and keeps conversations going, every format is designed to make networking work harder.
Conference
An agenda that covers every discipline, across multiple stages, with education and inspiration at its core. Add the star power of the Super Stage and masterclasses for those looking to dig deeper into their fields, and you have a programme that makes the trip worthwhile and is CPD-certified too.
Education
Can’t get enough of learning? Go beyond panels with in-depth sessions that let you ask questions, explore case studies, learn directly from trainers and get a 360° view of a topic you’re passionate about. The CPD-certified Tech Academies are designed to do exactly that.
Experience
Think “work hard, play hard” is a cliché? Try saying that after Infinity Lisbon, headlined in 2026 by Tiësto, the Opening Party with The Script, Festival Square with its bars, and a Food Festival featuring 50+ trucks. Add the smaller touches that make everything easier, from airport badge pickup and shuttles to water stations and more, and the experience goes far beyond the show floor.
THE SBC SUMMIT HIGHLIGHT FEATURES
Speed Networking
Networking
Speed Networking
Value efficiency above all else? Want to be in a room with people who came with the same goals and interests as you? This format was made for you. Meet a dozen people in under an hour. Fast, focused and seriously efficient.
Festival Square
EXPERIENCE
Festival Square
Here to do business but still believe it doesn’t all have to feel too formal? We agree. Head to Festival Square just outside FIL and treat yourself and your guests to wine, cocktails, shisha, live piano and more. It stays open after hours too, so even when we’re ushering you out of the venue, you can keep the conversations going until 20:00.
Super Stage
CONFERENCE
Super Stage
The mother of all stages. The one that has hosted names we grew up watching and admiring. A stage that bridges our industry with the worlds of sport, tech and entertainment, bringing us closer to the people we look up to and giving us a rare chance to see them in person. And, of course, a stage for our own stars too, the standout names shaping this industry from within.
Masterclasses
EDUCATION
Masterclasses
Specialist Masterclasses for subjects far too complex to squeeze into a panel. Over the years, attendees have learned how to build their own odds, explored which metrics matter beyond RTP when designing slots, and much more. Hands-on, highly practical and genuinely interesting, these sessions leave you with the feeling that you’ve learned something you can actually use.
Product Innovation Showcase Stage
Networking
Product Innovation Showcase Stage
The show floor gives you a fantastic overview of the products and services already shaping the industry. But what about what’s new, hot and worth getting ahead of? This stage puts emerging products in the spotlight through live demonstrations and direct access to the people behind them.
Tech Academies
EDUCATION
Tech Academies
The worlds of iGaming and tech often collide. In fact, they rarely don’t. Everything happening across AI, Web3.0 and crypto, player experience or marketing affects how this industry operates and makes money. That’s what the Tech Academies are for: half-day academies with multiple sessions on the hottest disciplines right now, so you can learn, impress and get ahead of the game.
Startup Hub
SHOW FLOOR
Startup Hub
Every industry giant was once the new kid on the block. The journey is rarely easy, so we want to make it as simple as possible by giving newcomers the space, visibility and connections they need to grow. The Startup Hub brings together a dedicated area on the show floor, its own lounge, the First Pitch startup competition to help kickstart their journey, and much more.
Show floor tours
SHOW FLOOR
Show floor tours
An interesting addition for exhibitors and attendees alike, the Show Floor Tours are perfect for anyone who finds the size of the exhibition a little overwhelming and would appreciate direct introductions to the companies offering exactly what they’re looking for. Want new games for your casino lobby? Choose the relevant tour and make 5–6 focused stops at exhibitors who can help. Easy, convenient and designed to deliver real value for both exhibitors and attendees.
