Delegates attending SBC Summit and Affiliate Leaders Summit this September will leave Lisbon with recognized Continuing Professional Development (CPD) credit, following accreditation of both events’ conference programs by The CPD Certification Service.
Every conference session, academy and masterclass across the two events now contributes toward that credit, giving attendees a professional development record they can carry forward in their careers.
For individual professionals, the accreditation ties conference attendance directly to long-term career growth rather than just short-term industry updates.
“Learning has always been one of SBC’s core priorities because a stronger industry starts with better-informed professionals,” said Rasmus Sojmark, CEO and Founder of SBC. “Becoming part of Continuing Professional Development reflects our commitment to helping raise standards across the global betting and gaming industry through ongoing learning and development.”
Six stages offer accredited learning paths
Delegates can build CPD hours across six dedicated conference stages at SBC Summit:
- The Super Stage features keynote sessions from leaders in business and sport.
- The Global & Emerging Markets Stage covers international growth opportunities and regional developments.
- The Technology & Innovation Stage addresses artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, infrastructure, data and product innovation.
- The Payment Expert Summit Stage focuses on payments, fintech, crypto and anti-money laundering topics.
- The Regulation & Compliance Stage examines licensing, policy and responsible gambling practice.
- The Product Innovation Showcase Stage rounds out the lineup with product launches and live demonstrations.
Affiliate and performance marketing professionals have their own accredited path through the co-located Affiliate Leaders Summit, which delivers content across two conference stages and the Affiliate Leaders Academy.
Topics include: platforms and performance, affiliate strategy, content and discovery, leadership, media buying, branding, customer acquisition, automation, artificial intelligence and business transformation.
“People don’t come to SBC Summit just to listen to presentations,” Sojmark said. “They come to solve challenges, discover new ideas and learn from the people writing the rules of our industry.”
“CPD accreditation ensures that the value of that learning extends well beyond the event itself. Delegates leave with recognised professional development that supports their careers, while businesses benefit from teams returning with new knowledge, practical skills and fresh perspectives.”
Optional upgrade adds specialist instruction
Attendees seeking additional CPD hours can opt into Education+, a CPD-accredited upgrade available at both events for €249 per individual session.
The format combines expert-led instruction with interactive, workshop-style learning, giving delegates a route to specialist knowledge in focused settings.
Education+ includes four Tech Academies covering AI, marketing, Web 3.0 and gamification, along with three masterclasses on sportsbook trading, electronic gaming and responsible gaming marketing.
Thousands of professionals expected in Lisbon
SBC Summit and Affiliate Leaders Summit take place from September 29 to October 1 at Feira Internacional de Lisboa (FIL) and the MEO Arena.
Organizers expect 40,000 industry professionals to attend, following last year’s edition, which drew delegates from more than 150 countries. This year’s gathering will again bring together operators, affiliates, suppliers, regulators, media, investors and sports organizations.
