In this article, brought to you by SBC, the major events organiser details what attendees can expect from the new track at the upcoming SBC Summit 2025
SBC Summit 2025 will include a Global Markets – Western Europe track at the upcoming Lisbon-based event this September.
The track, which will take place on 17 September at Lisbon’s Feira Internacional de Lisboa, will explore how operators are managing compliance demands, shifting player expectations and intensifying global competition.
The sessions will include markets like Italy, the Nordics, the Netherlands and Portugal.
The first talk on the track, European Leaders Panel: Old World, New Way Forward – How the Most Established Brands Are Rethinking Regulation and Retention, will feature some leading CEOs.
Those include Pascal Chaffard (CFO at FDJ), Axel Hefer (CEO at Tipico), Vlad Kaltenieks (CEO at BoyleSports), Mattias Wedar (CEO at LeoVegas Group) and moderator Martin Collins (CBDO at Soft2Bet).
Conversation will then turn to Italy, with contributions from Fabio Bufalini (Stake country director), Marco Castaldo (CEO at Microgame), Will Shuckburgh (CEO at eCogra), Nicola Tani (Agipro chief editor), Stefano Tino (MD at Betsson), and Marco Tiso (MD at Sisal).
Portugal: Smooth Sailing or Danger Ahead? will bring together several market experts, including Estoril Sol Digital boss Rui Magalhães and APAJO secretary general Bernardo Neves.
Other sessions featured in the track include Over the Finnish Line: Regulation in the Nordics, which will analyse Finland’s monopoly coming to an end and Dutch Courage: Collaboration in the Changing Face of Regulations, which will look at Dutch proposals to raise the age threshold for online slots and introduce stricter deposit limits.
Rasmus Sojmark, founder and CEO of SBC, said: “Western Europe has long set the standard for gambling regulation, but the landscape continues to evolve.
“Today’s leading operators must build strong relationships with regulators, drive responsible innovation, and retain customers in an increasingly complex global environment. This track provides the practical insight and expert guidance delegates need to succeed in Western Europe.”
