SBC Summit Rio 2025: Premier iGaming Conference and Networking Event

The SBC Summit Rio is back after its inaugural success last year. This year’s edition will be held from February 25 to February 27, 2025, at the Riocentro Convention Center in Rio de Janeiro.

While the focus will be on Brazil, the event aims to be the premier iGaming conference for the entire Latin American region. Attendees and speakers from around the world will gather to discuss industry trends and innovations.

SBC Summit with Bigger Venue

The move to Riocentro reflects the significant growth of SBC Summit Rio. With over 16,200 square meters of display space, Riocentro is much larger than the Windsor Convention & Expo Center, which hosted last year’s event with just 5,389 square meters.

Last year’s SBC Gaming Summit exceeded expectations, attracting around 4,000 attendees instead of the projected 3,000. Given the growing interest in iGaming across Latin America, this year’s larger venue is fitting, especially with expectations to host over 15,000 industry leaders, including the representatives of the largest gambling industries, players, experts, and more.

Riocentro also offers cutting-edge amenities, including multiple exposition halls, conference rooms, and outdoor areas, allowing SBC to provide a diverse and engaging event schedule.

SBC Conference Key Focus Areas for 2025

This year’s SBC Summit will dive into the most pressing issues shaping iGaming in Latin America and beyond. Attendees can look forward to in-depth discussions and presentations on the following topics:

Regulation and Compliance: Navigating the evolving regulatory landscape in Brazil and other key iGaming markets.
Payment Solutions: Presentations and discussions on the newest methods for maximizing online transactions as well as payment technologies.
Localized Product Offerings: Understanding the unique preferences of Latin American players and tailoring products accordingly.
Sports Integrity & Responsible Gaming: Encouraging moral behavior and ensuring the security and longevity of the iGaming industry.
Emerging Technologies: Discovering how AI, blockchain, and other innovations are transforming the industry.

According to SBC Events, two new summits will be introduced this year: the Affiliate Leaders Summit and the Payment Expert Summit. These additions are expected to increase attendance this year.

A Must-Attend Event for iGaming Professionals

Rasmus Sojmark, CEO and Founder of SBC, highlighted how this summit is the largest and most significant event for the iGaming industry in Brazil, noting that this year’s event triples in size.

According to Sojmark, “SBC Summit Rio will be the most significant and largest event in Brazil’s gaming and sports betting industry. It’s the first major event following Brazil’s new licensing and regulation changes. Now in its second year, it’s relocating to Latin America’s largest convention center, with attendance expected to triple. The possibilities are endless, and if you want a piece of the pie, you really cannot afford to miss it.”
