Bloom, whose memoir Molly's Game inspired the Oscar-nominated hit movie starring Jessica Chastain, will speak in front of industry professionals on the second day of the biggest up-to-date SBC event happening at the Fira Barcelona de Montjuïc between 20-22 September. 

During the Thursday keynote, the audience will get the opportunity to hear details on Bloom's experience hosting the world's most exclusive poker games that attracted some of the biggest names in Hollywood, such as Tobey Maguire, A-Rod, Ben Affleck and Leonardo DiCaprio.

Molly Bloom commented: "This industry thrives on strong and resilient people, and I know what it takes to succeed. That's why I am excited to share my story with the SBC Summit Barcelona audience — we have a lot to discuss."

Some of the industry's CEOs and other C-level executives will also get the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to play a game hosted by Molly during the exclusive 100-seat invitational SBC Poker Tournament on Wednesday evening.

Bloom joked: "I am looking forward to hosting 'Molly's Barcelona Game' to see whether gambling industry veterans are any good at poker."

'Molly's Barcelona Game' at Shôko is sponsored by Bombay Group and will feature a prize fund of €10,000, provided by great.com. The monetary prize fund will allow the tournament winner to donate the amount to their GiveWell's recommended charity of choice.
