Networking Overview
At a show this big, connections need structure, not luck.
In Lisbon, the whole industry shows up. The difference is whether you arrive with a plan or get lost in the crowd.

Our networking programme is designed to bring clarity and structure to how you meet people, so every interaction has purpose.

Walk in with meetings already set. Focus on quality over quantity. Get involved where the real conversations are happening. Stay in control of your time. 

Plan your meetings, choose your networking formats, and know exactly who you’re connecting with. Nothing is left to chance.

And when the sun goes down, the connections don’t stop. SBC’s evening networking events create a more relaxed, organic environment where conversations flow differently, often leading to moments that wouldn’t happen on the conference floor.

With SBC Connect, our official event app, in your pocket and the right ticket in hand, it’s all about making the right moves.

With regulatory landscapes constantly shifting across markets, staying informed and up to date is critical. These meet-ups bring together industry peers focused on specific regions and regulatory jurisdictions, creating a space to discuss key developments and make face-to-face connections. With a minimum of eight sessions held daily, you can join the ones most relevant to you and connect with others navigating the same market-specific challenges.

Show Floor Tours
Show Floor Tours

The scale of SBC Summit is one of its biggest advantages, especially on the showfloor. But with so much to explore, it can be hard to know where to start. These guided tours are designed to help, taking you through the key elements of an iGaming operation, from licensing and compliance to platform providers and payments, in a more focused and curated way.

Less formal, more open, and just as powerful when it comes to building real connections
