(Rio de Janeiro, SoloAzar Exclusive).- From March 3 to 5, thousands of stakeholders from Brazil and beyond will gather for SBC Summit Rio to examine the key lessons from the market’s first year under regulation and what they signal for business strategy in the year ahead. SoloAzar is on-site at the event, providing full coverage of the latest industry news and updates.
Taking place at RioCentro this week, the event welcomes thousands of operators, affiliates and industry stakeholders representing leading game studios, sportsbooks, payment providers, regulatory bodies, affiliates, influencers and marketing agencies for three days of networking and learning.
This year’s edition further strengthens Brazil’s connection with the wider LATAM region, featuring insights from more than 150 specialists across three conference stages, the Affiliate Leaders Summit, the Payment Expert Summit, the renowned INFINITY Rio party, and the popular Food Festival.
The program delves into the evolving realities of Brazil’s market, including managing PIX’s balance between speed and fraud risks, navigating CONAR and platform advertising regulations, preparing for ongoing debates on taxation and jurisdiction, and transforming compliance, user experience, and acquisition strategies into competitive advantages.
Among the headline speakers are Chris Kypriotis, former Global VP and CEO of Nike Brazil, and one of the country’s most popular streamers, Aruan Felix. Kypriotis will explore how high-performance cultures translate into sustained business results, while Felix will share insights into the mechanics behind audience growth, authenticity, and monetisation in Brazil’s creator-driven market
The summit will also welcome two of Brazil’s leading public authorities for an exclusive keynote titled “The Making of a Regulated Market”, taking place on Wednesday, 4 March. Daniele Correa Cardoso, Acting Secretary of Prizes and Betting at the Ministry of Finance, will be joined by Giovanni Rocco, National Secretary of Sports Betting at the Ministry of Sport, to deliver first-hand insight into what is currently happening behind the scenes.
The exhibition floor will serve as the commercial engine of the event, connecting delegates with the suppliers and operators powering Brazil’s betting and gaming ecosystem in 2026. The exhibitor line up includes Atlaslive, Altenar, Amusnet, BetConstruct and Digitain, among others.
Tracing the Roots
SBC Summit Rio marked a milestone in 2024 as Brazil’s first industry gathering following the enactment of Law No. 14,790, which reshaped the nation’s betting and gaming landscape.
In 2025, the event relocated to Riocentro in response to unprecedented demand, becoming the first major industry meeting after regulation. Attendance rose by 200%, earning the summit the “Exhibition Growth of the Year” award at the EN Indy Awards 2025.
