SBC Summit Rio 2027

SBC Summit Rio 2027 is set for 2–4 March 2027 at Riocentro, Avenida Salvador Allende 6555, in Rio de Janeiro. It is the Brazilian event in the SBC series, and its official site is published in Portuguese. The date banner on the site still read as to be announced at the end of October, but the organiser's own text confirms the March dates and the return to Riocentro. The event is built around Brazil's regulated betting market. According to the organiser, the 2026 edition brought together the country's licensed operators with regulators, customer acquisition specialists and suppliers. The keynote speakers the site lists from previous editions reflect that focus: Daniele Correa Cardoso, deputy secretary of prizes and bets at the Ministry of Finance; Giovanni Rocco, the Ministry of Sport's national secretary for sports betting and the economic development of sport; Renato Silva Siqueira, chief executive of Caixa Loterias; former Nike Brazil CEO Chris Kypriotis; and streamer Aruan Felix. An attendee testimonial on the site also mentions a Payment Expert Summit held as part of the event. The social programme is a large part of the week. In 2026 it opened with a party that included beach football and closed with Infinity Rio, headlined by DJ Öwnboss. Rooms near the venue are sold through the official housing partner, Via Capi, and the SBC Connect networking app opens to registered attendees on 25 January 2027. A floor plan for 2027 has already been published. For affiliates the event is directly relevant. Licensed operators and the officials who supervise them attend the same event, and acquisition specialists were part of the 2026 audience. Affiliates and agencies working Brazil can use it to meet licensed brands and to follow how the rules on betting are applied. The 2027 speakers, conference agenda and ticket prices were still unannounced on 31 October 2026. The site invited companies to register interest and to enquire about exhibiting and sponsorship.
