SBC Summit will run from 29 September to 1 October 2026, bringing together 40,000 industry professionals at the Feira Internacional de Lisboa and MEO Arena.
The three-day event will combine networking, exhibition, and an expanded education programme designed to give delegates meaningful, practical takeaways.
This year’s Education+ offering introduces specialist Masterclasses as part of an optional upgrade available to both SBC Summit and Affiliate Leaders Summit attendees.
Three expert-led Masterclasses will cover Sportsbook Trading, Electronic Gaming, and Responsible Gaming Marketing, targeting professionals who want operational depth.
These sessions are structured to move delegates beyond high-level discussion and into practical, skills-focused learning directly applicable to their businesses.
The Education+ upgrade is available as an individual €249 session, combining expert instruction with interactive, workshop-style formats in focused environments.
In addition to the Masterclasses, four specialist Tech Academies will cover AI, Marketing, Web 3.0, and Gamification as part of the broader Education+ programme.
Access to the AI Academy is available exclusively through an Education+ Pass, making it one of the more sought-after additions to this year’s conference schedule.
The €249 Education+ Pass grants access to one Academy or Masterclass of your choice across both summits, covering all available specialisations.
Both the SBC Summit and Affiliate Leaders Summit conference programmes have received official accreditation from The CPD Certification Service, a significant recognition for attendees.
This accreditation means every conference session, academy, and masterclass now contributes towards recognised Continuing Professional Development for professionals in attendance.
Delegates can effectively turn three days in Lisbon into certified CPD, leaving the event up to date with the latest industry standards, regulations, and best practices.
The combination of CPD accreditation and hands-on Masterclass formats represents a notable shift toward structured professional development within the iGaming events space.
