Hands-On Learning Takes Center Stage at SBC Summit Americas 2026
SBC Summit Americas 2026 is set to offer delegates an innovative and practical learning experience with the introduction of interactive masterclasses focused on solving the region’s most pressing industry challenges. Scheduled for June 10–11, 2026, the sessions will take place in Room 207 at the Broward County Convention Center, providing attendees with a highly engaging alternative to the summit’s core conference agenda.
Industry Experts to Lead Real-World Problem Solving Sessions
Unlike traditional conference panels, these masterclasses are designed to encourage active participation, allowing delegates to work through real-world business and regulatory challenges alongside industry peers and leading experts. The interactive format aims to create practical solutions through collaboration, discussion, and strategic problem-solving.
According to Rasmus Sojmark, CEO and Founder of SBC, this year’s educational program is the most ambitious the organisation has ever delivered. He noted that meaningful education goes beyond passive listening and involves asking difficult questions, collaborating with peers, and applying theory to practical business scenarios.
Key Industry Challenges to Be Explored
The masterclass sessions will address some of the most significant challenges shaping the Americas gaming and betting landscape in 2026. Discussions will focus on regulatory uncertainty surrounding prediction markets and sweepstakes, strategies for securing startup investment, and best practices for responsible influencer marketing within the betting and gaming industry.
These discussions are designed to provide actionable insights for operators, startups, investors, and compliance professionals navigating rapidly changing market conditions.
Prediction Markets and Legal Compliance Under the Spotlight
One of the most anticipated sessions, “Prediction Markets: Cross-Border Legal Challenges and Role of Gaming Regulation,” will examine how prediction markets are classified across legal, financial, and gaming frameworks. The session will explore whether existing regulations remain effective as the sector evolves and highlight differences in enforcement approaches across North America and Latin America.
Attendees will gain valuable insights into the legal risks associated with entering the prediction markets space and strategies operators can adopt to remain compliant in multiple jurisdictions.
Leading Legal Experts to Share Insights
The session will feature an expert panel including Ian Thomas of Offit Kurman, Joshua Kirschner of Nelson Mullins, Sara Tait from Fanatics Gaming & Betting, and Bill Gantz of Duane Morris.
Their collective expertise will offer attendees a comprehensive understanding of legal frameworks, compliance risks, and operational considerations within the emerging prediction markets sector.
A New Era of Industry Education at SBC Summit Americas
The introduction of these masterclasses reflects SBC Summit Americas’ growing focus on practical education and collaborative learning. By blending expert guidance with active delegate participation, the event aims to equip professionals with the tools and insights needed to navigate an increasingly complex regulatory and commercial landscape.
As the Americas betting and gaming market continues to evolve, these masterclasses are expected to become a standout feature of the 2026 summit.
