SBC Summit Americas 2026 will introduce a series of interactive masterclasses at this year’s event, focusing on issues ranging from prediction market regulation to startup fundraising and influencer marketing in sports betting.
The masterclasses will take place on June 10-11 at the Broward County Convention Center in Florida, offering delegates a more hands-on format alongside the summit’s main conference program.
The sessions are designed to encourage active participation, with attendees working through industry challenges alongside expert speakers and peers.
“This year’s educational program is by far the most ambitious we have ever delivered, and the introduction of these masterclasses adds another layer of depth for attendees,” said Rasmus Sojmark, CEO and Founder of SBC.
“Education is far more than just listening. It’s asking difficult questions, working with peers facing similar challenges, and putting theory into practice. That’s what these masterclasses are all about,” he added.
One of the featured sessions, titled “Prediction Markets: Cross-Border Legal Challenges and Role of Gaming Regulation,” will examine how prediction markets are classified under legal, financial, and gaming frameworks across North America and Latin America.
Speakers for the session include Ian Thomas (Principal, Offit Kurman), Joshua Kirschner (Partner, Nelson Mullins), Sara Tait (SVP Head of Legal, Regulated Industries, Fanatics Gaming & Betting), and Bill Gantz (Partner, Duane Morris). Discussions will focus on regulatory differences, compliance risks, and enforcement approaches across jurisdictions.
Another session, “Cross-Border & Outbound Sweepstakes Opportunities,” will address compliance and operational challenges for sweepstakes operators entering new markets.
That masterclass will feature John K. Maloney (Owner and Principal, The Law Offices of John K. Maloney), Christian Tirabassi (Founder and Senior Partner, Ficom Leisure), Christian Rapani (Founding Partner, Rapani Law), Kevin Weber (Partner, Dickinson Wright), and Joerg Hofmann (Senior Partner, MELCHERS Law Firm).
The event will also host a session on “Betting on Influence: An Analysis of Sports Betting Influencers“, led by Bryson Huey (Graduate Research Assistant, International Gaming Institute, UNLV) and Alan Feldman (Distinguished Fellow and Director, Strategic Initiatives, UNLV International Gaming Institute), exploring responsible and compliant influencer strategies.
In addition, SBC Summit Americas will offer two startup-focused masterclasses covering investor expectations, mergers and acquisitions, and early-stage fundraising strategies.
The wider conference program will feature 250 speakers across six stages, covering sports betting, casino gaming, payments, technology, regulation, affiliation, and player protection.
