The rapid sell-out of our first event made clear the need to meet this increased demand. In 2025, with plans for over 10.000 attendees and 400 exhibitors and sponsors, we want to provide the definitive platform for everything related to iGaming and sports betting in Brazil. This development is incredibly exciting for both SBC and the industry, which has supported us in this decision in more ways than we could have hoped for.”
