Florida’s Betting Hub Reconfirmed
SBC Summit Americas is set to roll back into Fort Lauderdale, Florida, from June 8–10, 2026, at the Broward County Convention Center, following a blockbuster 2025 edition that drew thousands.
The event, uniting gaming professionals from North, Central, and South America, cements Florida as a cross-border betting nexus, with SBC CEO Rasmus Sojmark stating, “‘Connecting worlds’ through gaming was the idea… a clear signal that the industry is ready for deeper collaboration.”
Fort Lauderdale’s selection for 2026 builds on 2025’s success, with its walkable venue surrounded by hotels earning praise from Delaware North’s Lee Terfloth, who said, “The location is great because we are surrounded by hotels, all of the events are within walking or short Uber distance.”
The Broward County Convention Center’s 22,000-square-meter space hosted over 10,000 attendees and 400 exhibitors in 2025, per sbcevents.com, making it ideal for the summit’s growing scale.
“It’s a much better venue, and it’s gotten a lot bigger,” Terfloth added, noting the merger of SBC Summit North America and Latinoamérica, per provided data. Sponsors and exhibitors are already locking in spots for 2026.
