Pedro Reis, Portuguese Minister of Economy, officially opened the new look SBC Summit on Tuesday, the first edition of SBC’s flagship global event to be held in Lisbon.
SBC informed that the newly evolved SBC Summit has already experienced extraordinary growth, tripling its show floor space and boosting attendance by 67%.
"This rapid expansion underscores SBC’s rising prominence, with Lisbon now firmly positioned as the industry’s central hub," SBC stated.
Minister Reis officially opened the three-day exhibition and conference at Feira Internacional de Lisboa and MEO Arena with a ribbon-cutting ceremony. Spanning 110,000 square meters of exhibition space, the event will run until September 26th, drawing global leaders from the sports betting, gaming, and related industries...
The Summit is estimated to contribute up to €100 million ($111 million) in economic benefits to Portugal’s budget, boosting Lisbon’s hospitality, tourism, and local services industries. A significant factor is the attendance of 500 industry C-level executives who traveled to Lisbon for the exclusive invite-only SBC Leaders Summit, held at the prestigious Myriad by Sana Hotel.
Reis concluded his tour of the exhibition floor by joining the C-level gathering, where he mingled with the industry’s elite and greeted Sir Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web, who was speaking at the summit.
