SBC Events has confirmed the 2026 and 2027 dates for its flagship SBC Summit. The event most recently gathered around 30,000 professionals in Lisbon, reinforcing its status as a key global meeting for the betting and gaming industry.
The summit will return to the Feira Internacional de Lisboa and the MEO Arena from 29 September to 1 October 2026, and from 21 to 23 September 2027. These dates, secured in 2023, underline SBC’s ongoing commitment to providing consistency and allowing the industry to plan ahead with confidence.
“Clarity and predictability, at least when it comes to dates, are vital. Our partners deserve to plan ahead without uncertainty,” said Rasmus Sojmark, CEO and Founder of SBC.
“By setting our dates well in advance, we ensured that everyone could organise their year efficiently and contributed to a well-balanced industry event calendar.”
Since 2015, SBC has hosted its major exhibition and conference in September, becoming the principal gathering after the European summer break. The scheduling provides an optimal moment for sales discussions and strategic planning for the upcoming year.
The 2026 dates are slightly later than usual to avoid overlapping with major Jewish religious holidays taking place in mid-September, while the schedule will return to standard timing in 2027. The relocation of the Summit from Barcelona to Lisbon marked a significant new chapter in the event’s development.
SBC secures its 2026 and 2027 Summit dates, continuing its tradition of offering the iGaming industry clarity, consistency, and prime September meeting opportunities in Lisbon.
