This is the backdrop for SBC Summit Rio 2026, which will take place from March 3–5 at Riocentro. Bringing together 15,000 professionals (including 2,500 affiliates and 6,000 operators), the event offers affiliates a rare opportunity to strengthen relationships, deepen their market knowledge, and increase their visibility among the industry’s leading brands.

SBC Summit Rio has established itself as the key event for affiliates aiming to accelerate their growth in Brazil. The summit stands out for its strategic focus on affiliates, the strong increase in operator attendance, and an ideal environment for generating leads, accessing opportunities, and staying up to date with the regulated market.

The previous edition recorded a 224% increase in affiliate attendance and a 32% rise in operators, including virtually all licensed brands in the country. This combination has turned Rio into an essential meeting point for those seeking profitable partnerships, visibility, and real expansion within the Brazilian ecosystem.

The event offers exclusive advantages: free VIP passes for affiliates, full access to conference stages featuring content on SEO, marketing, influencers, and Brazil’s regulatory landscape, as well as an entire day dedicated to affiliate-focused sessions. Additionally, the exhibition floor — with more than 400 exhibitors and segmented zones by vertical — makes it easy to connect directly with operators, payment providers, tech specialists, and key brands in the market.

On top of this, dedicated networking areas, official evening parties that gather top decision-makers, and outstanding NPS scores make SBC Summit Rio the leading reference event for affiliates looking to position themselves strongly in Brazil in 2026.
