Press release.- Reinforcing its proposal to offer a top-tier experience, the next edition of SBC Summit Latinoamérica will welcome 4,000 delegates for exclusive networking opportunities, including an unforgettable night at the iconic Chase Stadium, home of Inter Miami.
The event, which will take place at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino from October 29 to 31, will offer delegates the opportunity to explore cutting-edge industry innovations at the trade fair, deepen their experience through an extensive conference program, and establish valuable connections with key industry stakeholders during daytime and evening networking events.
Rasmus Sojmark, CEO and founder of SBC, commented: "At SBC we firmly believe that connections are the cornerstone of success, which is why networking has become one of the most valued aspects of our events."
He also conveyed: "In the past, we have organized networking events at iconic venues such as Benfica Stadium in Lisbon, Hard Rock Stadium, home of the Miami Dolphins, and Red Bull Arena, home of the New York Red Bulls. Is it always necessary to rent an entire stadium? Maybe not. But does it help make our attendees feel valued and cared for? Absolutely."
During the two main days of the event, delegates will have numerous opportunities to participate in networking sessions during the day. On Wednesday, October 30, from 10 to 11 AM, attendees can join the GGW breakfast at the F60 Refreshment & Lounge. Additionally, from 4 to 5 PM, they can enjoy complimentary drinks at the Networking Drinks Sponsored by IGP, which will be held at the IGP booth (E50).

The performance of British online gaming reached £1.320m in the third quarter.
United Kingdom.- The British Gambling Commission has reported that the gross gaming yield (GGY) of the largest regulated operators reached £1.320m (€1.540m) in the third quarter. Although this represents a sequential decline from £1.460m (€1.686m) in the second quarter, it is a year-on-year increase of 13 percent.
Revenues were boosted by a 16 percent increase in gross revenues from online slot machines, which reached a record £689m (€797m). The average number of spins per session was slightly lower than in the third quarter of 2023, 142 compared to 147, but the sessions lasted longer.
There was a 9 percent increase in the number of players who spent more than one hour per session, reaching £10m (€11.5m). And although the average GGY per session dropped from €4.20 to €4.13, the number of sessions increased by 18 percent. The average duration of sessions remained stable at 17 minutes.
The Gambling Commission estimates that the reported data covers about 80 percent of the regulated market. It noted that the figures may have been somewhat affected by the reclassification of some products as slot machines by an operator.
