SBC Summit Rio 2026 was held on 3–5 March 2026 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The summit draws the international iGaming community to the city, mixing operators, platform providers, regulators, affiliates and technology companies that are shaping how the Latin American market develops.

For many attendees it is a key checkpoint for the region: a place to understand local regulation, spot new commercial openings and build partnerships across Latin America.

Why the Rio summit matters for operators

The event is built for knowledge exchange and deal-making. Because regulators and commercial teams attend the same summit, operators can hear how rules are being applied in practice, not only how they read on paper.

Latin America is not a single market, so arrive with a view of which countries you want to enter first and how you would scale from there. Our Brazil iGaming expansion guide is a good starting point for the region’s largest market.
