SBC Summit Americas 2027

SBC Summit Americas is coming back to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, in 2027, again at the Broward County Convention Center on Eisenhower Boulevard. It will be the third edition: the event launched in 2025 and ran again in 2026. Our calendar lists it for 18–20 May 2027, but in late October the official site still showed the date as to be announced, so those days should be treated as provisional. The format is built on a single idea: putting North and Latin American gaming businesses in the same building. The organiser expects operators, affiliates, suppliers, regulators and investors from both halves of the continent. The 2026 conference ran on six stages in more than one language, with topics ranging from prediction markets to the football World Cup. Speakers that year included bet365 chief marketing officer Stephanie de Flora, Fanatics Betting & Gaming CTO Ian Botts, former US Representative Patrick Kennedy and former Aetna CMO David Edelman, alongside representatives of DraftKings. The 2026 edition put extra weight on networking. SBC introduced a format called SBC Connections, which grouped speed networking, curated roundtables, guided tours of the expo and discussions focused on single markets. Meetings are booked through the SBC Connect app, which opens to registered attendees in April 2027. The practical extras listed on the site include negotiated hotel rates, badge pickup outside show hours and food outlets at the venue. The 2026 edition closed with INFINITY Florida at DAER Nightclub, with DJ Oliver Heldens, for holders of Networking and VIP passes. For affiliates the relevance is direct. Few events bring US-facing operators and Latin American operators into one hall, and an affiliate working Mexico, Colombia or Brazil can meet both groups at once. The multilingual programme also lowers the barrier for Spanish-speaking teams. As of 31 October 2026 nothing about the 2027 programme had been published. There were no confirmed dates, speakers, agenda or ticket prices, and SBC was taking enquiries from companies interested in exhibiting, sponsoring or speaking.
