The atmosphere was electric. People were exchanging ideas and embracing the spirit of collaboration. It was not only our largest event in North America, but also the smoothest we’ve ever had. I was really excited to see so many new people this time. Rasmus Sojmark , SBC’s CEO and founder said: “It is clear that the Summit has grown and attracted new perspectives and voices.”
The event began with a powerful preday conference at the Altman Building, Chelsea, on May 9. This focused on the important topics of Player Protection and Compliance as well as Leadership. 300 industry leaders were captivated by this session.

The quality of the conference sessions were out of this world. We took it up a level by expanding into a lower-floor to accommodate more top speakers. Not only were the conference rooms packed with insightful panels, but there were also many individuals who were ready to absorb information and move the industry forward,” sojmark said.
It’s one of my favorites conferences. It’s my third time attending the event, and I am amazed at how much has changed since the first time. There are more people than ever here, and I think we may be on the verge of outgrowing our space. Everyone is here to support each other and move the industry forward. “The event has helped us achieve our goals and set us up for success,” said Cassie Brickman CEO of Betting Hero.

The connections I was able to make were simply phenomenal. This conference brings the industry together, allowing us to stay on top of the latest trends and identify the forces driving innovation. It begins long before the actual event. Six months before the event, you are already contacted. In a short time, you will be able to build relationships which will propel your business. This is why I come back every year. “This is the Super Bowl for sports betting”, said DRA & Q Casino’s CEO Alex Dixon.
