Over 2,000 delegates from across the world will make their way to the Betting on Sports Week to join the international betting and gaming trade conferences on September 18-21 at Olympia London.
It’s an entire week dedicated to gaming, with five conference rooms and two exhibition areas. Over 200 speakers will join the discussions around leadership, sports, sponsorship, sports betting, esports, affiliates, regulation, compliance, integrity, data and trading.
This year, the exhibition area has been expanded to 6,300sq.m with 140 exhibitors, enhanced networking areas, meeting rooms and refreshments, lunch and networking drinks. This space provides a great chance for delegates to both experience the new products on display and generate new business opportunities.
To facilitate business and networking among delegates, there are no fewer than eight dedicated networking areas with plenty of one-on-one opportunities, while organiser SBC has booked some of London’s most iconic venues for networking drinks and parties. Wednesday evening's dinner and party is located on the 28th and 29th floor of Millbank Tower, with stunning 360 degree views of London.
Thursday evening will mark the exclusive Hall of Fame awards evening and networking party at one of London's most iconic venues, the Natural History Museum. It’s been a year of growth for SBC, who attracted a record number of delegates to last month’s Betting on Football conference and recently launched the SBC Americas and Casino Beats news websites. That growth will be reflected in an even wider ranging selection of conference tracks.
ESI London is a two-day esports business conference, run by the team from Esports Insider, with the central theme of bridging the gap between expertise and interest. Topics will include brand building, content, law and compliance and the importance of a strong PR strategy for esports. Betting on Sports ticket holders have access to ESI London and there are also ticket options just for the esports event itself.
Affiliate Insider will also be hosting its invite-only AffiliateFEST forum on Wednesday with the aim of providing accelerated digital lessons for igaming affiliate entrepreneurs. Attendees will be able to learn the latest digital strategies from a selection of experienced igaming experts. Taking place at the Hilton Hotel, the SBC Sponsorship Forum event is hosted by former chief commercial officer of AC Milan, Jaap Kalma. The exclusive gathering will address opportunities around sports sponsorship, while facilitating direct introductions between sports clubs and gaming operators.
SBC managing director Andrew McCarron said: “BOSCON 2018 is an essential focal point for anyone involved in the betting business. We’ve worked tirelessly this year to build and improve in all areas, to the point where the conference and exhibition now take up two full floors of Olympia. Added to that, we’ve no fewer than eight dedicated business and networking areas, enabling endless opportunities for delegates to get together and discuss the burning issues of the day.”
