The next major growth opportunity in global gaming isn’t a single market. It’s an entire region.
Across Latin America, newly regulated markets, rising digital adoption, and increasing consumer demand are creating significant opportunities for operators, suppliers, affiliates, and investors. From Brazil’s landmark regulation to the continued growth of Peru, Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, and beyond, the region has become one of the industry’s biggest strategic priorities.
But succeeding in Latin America means understanding that there is no single regional playbook.
Each market operates under different regulations, consumer behaviours, political realities, and commercial conditions, making local knowledge essential for long-term success.
That’s why SBC Summit 2026 will help delegates explore Latin America from every angle, combining dedicated conference content, regional networking opportunities, and a show floor featuring many of the region’s biggest players and growing brands.
Whether you’re entering Latin America or growing an established presence, this guide explores how SBC Summit helps you understand the region, and build the right relationships to unlock commercial opportunities.
Understanding Latin America’s Markets Through Our Conference Agenda
The same characteristics that make Latin America one of gaming’s most exciting growth regions also make it one of the most challenging to navigate.
Rather than treating Latin America as a single market, SBC Summit’s agenda focuses on the region’s most important jurisdictions, including Brazil, Peru, Mexico, Colombia, and Argentina, helping delegates understand the distinct opportunities and challenges shaping each.
On Thursday, 1 October, SBC Summit’s Global & Emerging Markets Stage will be dedicated entirely to Latin America, with a full-day track bringing together the operators, regulators, suppliers, and affiliates closest to the changes shaping the region’s most important markets.

That is why SBC Summit’s revamped daytime networking programme has been designed to help delegates build more valuable regional connections, whether they are looking to meet regulators, operators, affiliates, suppliers, investors, or local market experts.
LATAM & Brazil Regulatory Gaming Cocktail Hour
For delegates focused on Latin America, the LATAM & Brazil Regulatory Gaming Cocktail Hour will provide an informal setting to discuss the latest regulatory developments with representatives from Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, and Peru.
Part of SBC Summit’s new Regulatory Gaming Meetups, the session will give attendees the opportunity to compare experiences with businesses already active across the region, ask questions about market-specific challenges, and build relationships with the people shaping Latin America’s future.
The session will be hosted by a leading regional regulator, who will help facilitate discussion, encourage introductions, and connect delegates with the people most relevant to their business.
SBC Connect Meets
Delegates can also use SBC Connect Meets to arrange meetings with Latin America-focused operators, suppliers, affiliates, regulators, and investors before arriving in Lisbon.
Through the SBC Connect app, attendees can search by company, exchange messages, arrange meetings in advance, and schedule conversations in the dedicated SBC Connect Lounge (F741 on the floor plan), helping them turn regional interest into meaningful business conversations.
Together, these networking opportunities give delegates a more direct route to the people, insight, and partnerships needed to succeed across Latin America’s fast-moving gaming markets.
