The SBC Summit Rio 2026 iGaming conference will return for its latest edition on March 3–5, to be held at the Riocentro Exhibition & Convention Center in Rio de Janeiro. Global betting company 1xBet will actively participate in the summit’s events, seeking to reaffirm its position in Latin America.
The event takes place as Brazil emerges as a key hub for the betting and affiliate industries. The establishment of a strictly regulated market, growing interest from international operators, and a high level of digitalization are helping unlock the country’s potential.
The summit takes place in March, a special month for Rio de Janeiro. The city has just celebrated its world-famous Carnival and remains a vibrant center of activity.
SBC Summit Rio will bring together more than 15,000 delegates, 250 speakers, and over 400 companies. The event will offer panel discussions along with the chance to combine the unique atmosphere of the megapolis with top-tier networking.
SBC Summit Rio guests will be able to meet 1xBet at booth A250. Spanning more than 140 square meters, the brand will create a fully functional meeting area for negotiations and discussions on collaborative projects. A cozy bar serving signature cocktails will encourage relaxed conversation, fostering discussions in an informal setting.
1xBet has also prepared engaging activities for its guests, including prize draws. On March 3, at 4:00 PM local time, booth visitors will have the chance to win exclusive gifts, such as a Louis Vuitton Horizon 55 cabin suitcase.
The company will present its expert perspective on the organization of processes within the industry. As part of the panel discussion Building Unicorns: Behind the Scenes of Running and Scaling Betting Giants, 1xBet’s Strategic Advisor, Simon Westbury, will share his experience in scaling betting projects and discuss effective growth strategies in Latin America. He will also explain how global brands can successfully adapt to new local markets and turn regional presence into a foundation for sustainable growth.
The summit comes as 1xBet actively expands its influence in Latin America, building a comprehensive ecosystem across the region. In this environment, a strong affiliate network plays a key role in promoting the brand.
As part of SBC Summit Rio, 1xBet invites potential partners to discuss collaboration terms in person. 1xPartners, the brand’s affiliate network, has been operating for more than 10 years and brings together over 500,000 members across 150+ countries worldwide.
“It is a great opportunity to join one of the industry’s leading teams and successfully enter the rapidly growing Latin American market together,” the company said. “Visit booth A250 to meet 1xBet managers and learn more about the advantages of the 1xPartners program.”
