The upcoming SBC Summit North America, set to be held at the Meadowlands Exposition Center in New Jersey from May 7-9, will welcome a record-breaking 5,000 delegates eager to expand their connections in the evolving North American market.
The three-day event will feature a pre-day Player Protection Symposium, an expansive exhibition floor, and a comprehensive conference. In collaboration with +More Media, SBC will also host the inaugural Capital Market Forum, on Monday, May 6.
“The North American market is still undergoing a pivotal and transformative shift. Despite some regulatory roadblocks, sports betting is continuing to go from strength to strength as evidenced by the recent developments in Vermont, Kentucky, Maine, and North Carolina,” said SBC CEO and Founder Rasmus Sojmark.
“With that said, there is still much more to be achieved in the market, and alongside discussions on the slow progress of iGaming, SBC Summit North America will serve as the ideal opportunity for delegates to equip themselves with the tools to prosper and continue pushing the market forward.”
A notable feature of the event will be the conference program spanning eight dedicated tracks across four stages. The conference, featuring 300 speakers, will aim to address crucial issues affecting the North American markets. Throughout the event, delegates can anticipate discussions encompassing the reinvention of land-based experiences through digital integration, strategies to build upon the ongoing success of tribal gaming, methods for forging successful operator-league partnerships, an exploration of emerging technology set to innovate the sports betting market, and more.
The first core day of the event will feature notable appearances from Rep. Dina Titus, President of the National Council of Legislators from Gaming States (NCLGS) Delegate Shawn Fluharty, Caesars Entertainment Board Member Jan Jones Blackhurst, former President of the WNBA (Women’s National Basketball Association) Donna Orender and Robert Norton, President of Cordish Companies Casinos & Hotels.
The second day will commence with an exclusive Q&A keynote session with nine-time Pro Bowl quarterback, and former Miami Dolphin, Dan Marino. Marino will reflect on his decorated career playing for the Miami Dolphins, his work with the Dan Marino Foundation and will share his views on the wider sports industry.
Additionally, the second day of the conference will feature a keynote presentation by Trustly’s Vice President of Gaming, John Parsons, as he shares strategies for operators seeking to utilize open banking solutions to enhance player loyalty.
The exhibition floor will host over 75 global and regional brands, showcasing cutting-edge technology, the latest game releases and innovative services and products. Companies appearing on the show floor include leading operators such as Bet365 Partners, well-known affiliates like Key Affiliates, innovative game studios such as RLX Gaming and White Hat Gaming, and suppliers like BetConstruct, Continent 8 Technologies, Kinectify and Trustly.
In addition to showcasing the industry’s latest offerings, the exhibition floor will provide delegates with a variety of daytime networking opportunities. The first day of the summit will see daytime events such as the Global Gaming Women Meet-Up Breakfast, sponsored by PayNearMe and VDX.tv, the African Americans In Gaming Meet-Up, and a Drinks Reception sponsored by BTI Labs. The second day will see the exhibition floor host both the Tribal Gaming Breakfast Meet-Up, sponsored by Strive Gaming and the Responsible Gambling Affiliate Association (RGAA) Launch & Networking Drinks, sponsored by Affiliate Leaders and Better Collective.
