SBC Summit Barcelona doubles in size to meet exhibitor demand
The leading events and media company SBC is excited to announce the return of its global betting and iGaming exhibition and conference, SBC Summit Barcelona, on 19-21 September.
Over 10,000 influential decision-makers, including 2,000 operator representatives and 1,000 affiliate representatives, will attend the show at the Fira de Barcelona Montjuïc. The event will showcase 300 top exhibitors and feature 80+ hours of conference content delivered by 450 of the industry’s most brilliant minds.
This year, due to popular demand after the overwhelming success of the event’s 2022 edition, SBC will double the size of the exhibition space. The enlarged area will cover an impressive 38,000 square metres, slightly bigger than Espanyol’s RCDE Stadium, which hosted the SBC Football Championship last year.
To help attendees easily locate and connect with the companies they are interested in, SBC will divide the exhibition floor into five distinct zones and run separate conference stages for each vertical. In addition to the zone-specific conference rooms, there will be two additional stages focused on Leadership and Global Gaming (Stage 1) and Sports Sponsorship and Player Protection (Stage 7).
Top industry leaders such as Adi Dhandhania (COO, North America Interactive, Bally’s Corporation), Jesper Svensson (CEO, Betsson Group), Maarja Pärt (CEO, Yolo Group), and Sam Sadi (CEO, LiveScore Group) will be among the speakers covering leadership issues.
Rasmus Sojmark, CEO & Founder of SBC, said: “The feedback for this event has been extraordinarily positive, making it a must-attend show for the global sports betting and iGaming community. The 2023 floor plan is looking strong, even though the event is still nine months away, and we have already secured some top names as speakers. The Barcelona show covers every vertical, allowing attendees to network with the right people, access top-quality products and content, and experience unforgettable moments!”
In the Sports Betting Zone, attendees will have the opportunity to discover innovative solutions from sports betting leaders such as 1xbet, Altenar, BetConstruct, Delasport, Digitain, Fast Track, IGP, Pinnacle, Soft2bet, Sportingtech, and Stats Perform.
The expert speaker lineup will include Anders Hauberg Nielsen (Global Head of Sportsbook, Betcris), Andreas Bardun (CEO, KTO Group), Andy Wright (SVP Trading, Fanatics), Endre Nesset (President, Coolbet), and Matt Scarrott (Director of Emerging Markets, BetVictor), who will discuss the current and future state of sports betting.
In the Casino & iGaming Zone, event visitors can learn about the keys to creating a successful casino offering by visiting exhibitors such as Alea Gaming, Amusnet Interactive, Codium, EGT Digital, Evoplay, Platipus Gaming, Smartsoft Gaming, Spribe and Softswiss.
Allan Auning-Hansen (CEO, CEGO/Spilnu.dk), Bernd Henning (Chief Casino Director, Bet3000), Jack Anthony (Head of Product, Eyas Gaming), Lucas Lebleu (Casino Director, Betcris), and Tim Parker (CEO, SuperSeven) will be among the panellists who will guide the attendees through the potential and the challenges of various casino products and innovations.
In the Payments & Compliance Zone, visitors can meet exhibitors such as Adyen, AstroPay, Aurum Solutions, BVNK, COLIBRIX, Emerchantpay, IDnow, ISX Financial, Payment Center, and Trustly.
Attendees of the Payment & Compliance conference stage will have the chance to hear from esteemed experts such as Agata Smilgin (Head of Payments, The Luck Factory), Alex Henderson (Chief Compliance Officer, Netbet), Isabelle Delisle (Head of Group Payments, Pinnacle) and Mickael Marceau (Director of Payment Solutions, Kindred Group).
The Affiliate, Media & Marketing Zone will be a hub of activity with operators, affiliates, and media showcasing their products. Exhibitors include 7StarsPartners, 247 Partners, Betcris, Betsson Group, Better Collective, BetWinner, Kaizen Gaming, MegaPari Partners, Pin-Up Global, TonyBet, and VBet.

The Emerging Tech, Blockchain & Metaverse Zone will provide a unique opportunity to discuss the technologies shaking up the industry by introducing forward-thinking solutions. Exhibitors in this zone include Blockotech, CoinsPaid, CryptoSnack, Damex, and Incode.
One of the highlights of this zone will be the in-person keynote speech of metaverse trailblazer and best-selling author of ‘The Metaverse: And How It Will Revolutionise Everything,’ Matthew Ball.

XSOLLA WEB SHOP AND SINGULAR JOIN FORCES TO DELIVER CROSS-PLATFORM LTV AND ROAS MEASUREMENT SOLUTIONS
Xsolla Web Shop And Singular S2S Integration Bridges The Gap Between Mobile Marketing And Web Transactions For Complete Campaign Visibility
Xsolla, a global video game commerce company that helps developers launch, grow, and monetize their games, today announced a new mobile-focused Server-to-Server (S2S) integration with Singular, a leading marketing analytics and attribution platform. The integration unifies mobile marketing data with direct-to-consumer web purchases, enabling developers to measure campaign performance and player value more accurately than ever before.
As mobile game makers increasingly turn to Web Shops to expand revenue streams beyond app stores, one challenge has persisted: how to tie those off-platform transactions back to mobile marketing spend. The Xsolla Web Shop + Singular S2S integration closes this gap by treating Web Shop purchases as attributable events, giving developers true Return on Advertising Spend (ROAS) and comprehensive Lifetime Value (LTV) insights.
Key advantages of the Xsolla Web Shop + Singular S2S integration:
- Capture both mobile and web purchases as part of a single funnel
- Link revenue directly to user acquisition and re-engagement campaigns
- Reveal the complete LTV picture across app and Web Shop transactions
With this integration, Web Shop purchases are transmitted to Singular as server-to-server events, then mapped back to the correct install source or re-engagement campaign. This provides growth teams with a single, trusted view of performance across all platforms.
“Having launched more than 600 mobile Web Shops, we’ve seen developers demand actionable data that connects web monetization with mobile marketing,” said Berkley Egenes, Chief Marketing & Growth Officer at Xsolla. “Our new S2S integration with Singular delivers that missing link, giving teams the clarity to optimize and scale their Web Shop strategies confidently.”
“Our goal at Singular has always been to simplify complex data and make it actionable for growth teams,” said Gadi Eliashiv, CEO and Co-Founder at Singular. “By partnering with Xsolla, we’re giving developers the full-funnel visibility they need to measure ROI and maximize revenue across every platform.”
