SBC Summit Rio 2027 – 2–4 March 2027, Rio de Janeiro
SBC Summit Rio returns to Riocentro! After the outstanding success of 2026 — which was a true celebration of Brazil’s betting and gaming industry — organisers are gearing up for the next chapter. From 2–4 March 2027, Rio de Janeiro will once again welcome licensed operators, regulators, acquisition specialists, and suppliers. This is a unique space for market insights and direct connections with Brazil’s most influential names.
What is SBC Summit Rio?
SBC Summit Rio is a large-scale forum focused on Brazil’s regulated market and international teams looking to enter or scale up in Brazil. The event combines business tracks — the Affiliate Leaders Summit, Payment Expert Summit, and Casino & iGaming Zone with real-world gambling and betting case studies — with a packed networking agenda. Retailers, investors, regulators, and industry leaders all come together in one space.
One in four attendees is a decision-maker actively evaluating new partners, products, and solutions. SBC Summit Rio is where you meet the people who can say “yes”.
Why Exhibit or Attend?
- Turn visibility into qualified leads. The show floor is built for fast, relevant discovery: hundreds of Brazil-focused brands and clearly defined zones guide the right buyers straight to your stand.

- Get extra exposure. Your brand will appear on the official event website, in the conference app, on printed materials (programmes, floor plans, maps, signage), and in pre-event marketing (email, social media, PR, blogs).
- VIP ticket allocation for your team and key clients. Bring more colleagues, host important clients, and enjoy the full SBC Summit Rio experience.

SBC Summit Rio: Past Editions — Growth, Scale, and Market Insights
SBC Summit Rio 2026
In 2026, SBC Summit Rio returned to Riocentro and continued its upward trajectory. Organisers reported further growth in attendance and exhibition space, building on the remarkable success of 2025 (12,000+ attendees and 70,000 sqm of exhibition floor).
The program featured key tracks: the Affiliate Leaders Summit, Payment Expert Summit, and Casino & iGaming Zone, with practical case studies on gambling and betting. Special focus was given to navigating Law No. 14,790 — Brazil’s new regulatory framework. Speakers tackled payment integration via PIX and Open Banking, protection & compliance, and localised marketing strategies.
For affiliates, media buyers, and operators, SBC Summit Rio cemented its role as the premier platform for fast-paced networking, testing new hypotheses, and sealing deals in Latin America’s hottest market.

In 2025, the event moved to Riocentro and immediately showed growth. Attendance and exhibition space expanded significantly.
The program featured case studies on localization, payments (PIX), and protection & compliance. The closing night featured top DJs at INFINITY Rio.
For affiliates and partners, it became a platform for rapid deal-making and testing hypotheses in the local market.
SBC Summit Rio 2024
The 2024 debut edition was historic: it was the first major industry gathering in Brazil after the law redefined the legal market framework. The forum quickly became a hub for strategic decisions and local alliances.
