Fort Lauderdale played host again as SBC Summit Americas returned to the Broward County Convention Center from 9-11 June, bringing operators, affiliates, suppliers and regulators from across North and Latin America under one roof. This year’s edition leaned harder into networking with the launch of SBC Connections, built around pre-arranged meetings, speed networking, guided expo tours and themed roundtables. The six-stage agenda featured more than 250 speakers, including executives from bet365, DraftKings and Fanatics, and covered everything from affiliation and payments to regulation and player protection. One subject dominated the week: prediction markets. The Stage One panel drew a standing-room-only crowd, and the conversation carried well past the Prediction Markets Forum into meetups and hallway debates. Regulator turnout was another standout, with officials from Brazil, Puerto Rico, Costa Rica, Panama and Argentina comparing notes. “SBC has always enjoyed a strong relationship with the Americas region, and it’s a privilege to bring together so many different markets and voices under one roof,” said SBC Founder and CEO Rasmus Sojmark. “We’d like to thank everyone who attended, exhibited and sponsored SBC Summit Americas 2026.” As the photos in the following pages show, SBC Summit Americas did what the best shows do. It sent everyone home with a clearer read on the market and a longer list of people worth calling. Fort Lauderdale photo by Kevin Ruck/Shutterstock 41 GPWAtimes.org
