THESBC Summit North America is preparing for another edition, which will bring together 5.000 senior decision makers for a dynamic event full of learning, networking and business opportunities.

Rasmus Sojmark, CEO and founder of SBC, said: “The goal is to build on the momentum gained last year, when we brought together the North American region's leading operators, affiliates, suppliers, regulators and media. We expect a 66% surge in delegate numbers and aim to attract both new entrants to the industry and those who missed the opportunity to attend last year. The first numbers are promising and the exhibition area is approaching full capacity, although this year we have added 15 more stands to meet demand.”
THEexhibition area will feature a wide range of exhibitors, with over 75 prominent companies in the spotlight. Among the exhibitors stand out leading game providers such as White Hat Gaming e Relax Gaming, as well as major affiliates such as Better Collective, MediaTroopers, Spotlight Sports Group e KeyAffiliates. Major payment providers such as Trustly, PayNearMe, TransUnion, PXP Financial e PayBrokers, operators like Betsson, risk management platforms such as Kinectify, providers of content and real-time data such as SportsDataIO and hosting providers like Internet Vikings will further enrich the full range of offerings, making the exhibition a must-see for industry enthusiasts looking for the latest innovations.
