A brand-new Technology Stage will make its debut this September at SBC Summit 2025, taking place from 16 to 18 September at the Feira Internacional de Lisboa (FIL), putting cutting-edge innovation in the spotlight.
With over 30,000 delegates expected to attend, the new Technology Stage will explore the vital role of tech innovation in the evolution of modern iGaming. Expert-led panels will address the digital transformation of the industry, offering actionable strategies to enhance user experience, streamline operations, and ensure compliance readiness.
Rasmus Sojmark, Founder and CEO of SBC, stated:
“Growth, efficiency, and compliance now rely on smart innovation. The new Technology Stage is our answer to that shift.
No matter your vertical, if you’re not paying attention to the next wave of tech, you’re already behind. From payments to product, it’s a must-attend for anyone looking to build smarter, faster, and stronger.”
Day One – Payments: The opening day will focus on payment technology, analyzing how artificial intelligence and blockchain are transforming transaction processes. Speakers will cover the rise of open banking, the move toward decentralized finance, and the importance of delivering seamless payment experiences.
Day Two – Technology: The second day will dive into player experience and how brands can build frictionless interactions. Panels will discuss the potential for subscription models in gaming, how AI is powering personalized betting tools, and how improved UX/UI design can boost retention without alienating traditional users.
Day Three – Compliance: The final day will spotlight compliance in the digital era. Topics will include AI-powered fraud detection, advanced KYC processes, and real-time player behavior monitoring tools. Speakers will also examine how cryptocurrency is reshaping regulatory risk and what operators must do to stay compliant.
The Technology Stage will welcome top industry voices with hands-on experience in the innovations shaping the future of betting and iGaming. Confirmed speakers include: Aidan Barry (Group Head of Sportsbook, FEG), Olena Demchenko (Head of AML, FDJ United), Mike Goode (CFO, Kwiff), Enrico Giancaterina (Executive Managing Director, Funtech Games), Anders Karlsen (Co-Founder & CEO, SISU Group), Nikola Lero (Head of Casino and Sport, Gentoo Media), Constanza Muñoz Torres (Chief Compliance Officer/Chief Legal, Estelar Bet), and Christian Reinheimer (Group Director Payments Product, LeoVegas Group).
