Groove and Ace Alliance host invite-only Sunset Connections ahead of SBC Summit Lisbon

Groove and Ace Alliance hosted an invite-only networking event, dubbed Sunset Connections, at SUD Lisboa in Lisbon ahead of SBC Summit Lisbon’s official opening, the companies said in a press release.

The event began with “sunset cocktails from 19:00” and continued with a dînatoire, live music, and a late lounge format designed for business discussions outside the expo floor, according to the release.

Faruk Aydin, Managing Director at Ace Alliance, said: "The room was extraordinary. Founders, C-level executives and key decision-makers sharing stories, insights and opportunities over phenomenal food and panoramic views. This is how real alliances begin, effortlessly, in a relaxed atmosphere, before the expo exhaustion sets in."

Groove said it provides an aggregation platform offering “20,000+ games from 150+ providers available through a single integration,” and described its system as a “centralised AI-enhanced platform” used by operators to manage and tailor content across markets.

"We didn't want to host another networking event. We wanted to create a strategic head start," said Yahale Meltzer, CEO of Groove. "Everyone arrives in Lisbon with fresh energy, but schedules fill up fast. By bringing the Groove and Ace Alliance networks together on Monday night, we gave our partners the one thing that matters most, uninterrupted access to the people who make decisions."
