The 2023 edition of SBC Summit Latinoamérica will witness a remarkable threefold increase from last year’s event attendance as 3,000 delegates are set to converge at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Miami from October 31 to November 2.
The yearly must-attend exhibition and conference specifically designed for iGaming and sports betting professionals with a Latin American emphasis will play host to influential decision-makers from regional and global operators, affiliates and suppliers as well as regulators, media, and sports teams representatives.
The event will serve as the platform for in-depth conversations concerning business opportunities in the region, informed by the prevailing regulatory landscapes in key markets such as Brazil, Peru, Colombia, Chile, Puerto Rico, Mexico, and Argentina, among others. Additionally, it will shed light on both current and future industry trends that are reshaping the dynamics of the diverse Latin American markets.

It will include various dedicated tracks, covering leadership, sports betting products, emerging markets and technology, sports teams and media, payments and compliance, affiliates and advertising, and player protection.
