SBC announces Affiliate Leaders Summit as part of Lisbon gathering

SBC Events continues to build an ever-stronger ecosystem of industry events that bring together the industry’s biggest influencers, decision-makers, and specialists.

Now, using the platform that is the SBC Summit in Lisbon this September, SBC is also introducing the Affiliate Leaders Summit, which will coincide with the flagship gathering, and be held in two days on September 25-26 at Feira Internacionalde Lisboa, where the main summit is taking place.

Affiliate Leaders Summit to focus on the vital artery of the gambling industry

This is a direct response to the increased interest shown by affiliates at such gatherings and an expected turnout of 5,000 affiliate and operator representatives. The Affiliate Leaders Summit will kick off with the Opening Party on Tuesday, September 24 at the Ferroviário Rooftop Bar from 19:00 to 01:00.

This social get-together is designed to be a relaxed and laidback networking opportunity in which business insiders can discuss different topics and seek to form bonds that could translate into business decisions.

The Affiliate Leaders’ Summit is expected to host 150 booths, introducing an array of industry experts and insiders, such as Betsson Group, Blaze, Buffalo Partners, Vbet, Safe Affiliate Programs, N1 Partners, M8 Mansion, Novibet, and many others. Among the notable attendees are:

• Šimon Vincze (Responsible Gambling Projects Manager, Casino Guru)
• Jesper Søgaard (CEO & Co-founder, Better Collective)
• Johan Svensson (CEO, Raketech)
• Zackrisson (SVP Growth, Better Collective)
• Peter Gunni (CEO, Traffic Lab)

The floor will also be covered with multiple places to have coffee, and a drink, enjoy a meal, and generally have the ideal relaxed opportunity to kick back and enjoy a friendly business conversation.

Bringing together the industry’s best experts to tackle common challenges

Apart from bringing together operators and affiliates to strike business partnerships, the summit also has a shared goal – to pool the industry’s resources and knowledge to address the common changes that have impacted affiliate business across the board.

There will be a lot of talk about effective SEO techniques, retention strategies, and acquisition moves. The discussions will touch on social responsibility, regulatory and technological outlook on streaming, how AI is impacting the industry and opportunities thereof, and much more.

Rasmus Sojmark, CEO & Founder of SBC, has welcomed this new opportunity and said that affiliates play a crucial role in the industry, and SBC was committed to providing this particular vertical with more opportunities to innovate.

"The goal behind the introduction of the Affiliate Leaders Summit was simple: to provide a meaningful platform for affiliates to efficiently network, and share ideas and strategies, whether it’s with operator partners or among themselves. I look forward to witnessing the amazing work and collaboration that this summit will undoubtedly foster," Sojmark explained.
