SBC Summit Tbilisi 2026 Draws 2,500 Delegates
The regional iGaming summit returns to Georgia on 15–16 July with operators, regulators, and investors in attendance.
SBC Summit Tbilisi 2026 returns to the Sheraton Grand Metechi Palace on 15–16 July, with more than 2,500 industry professionals expected to attend, according to SBC News.
Why It Matters
Georgia has quietly become one of the more active regulatory and commercial hubs for iGaming in the broader CIS and Eastern European region, making Tbilisi an increasingly strategic venue for deal-making. Operators, affiliates, suppliers, regulators, legal experts, and investors will all share the floor — a cross-section that rarely assembles in one place outside of major Western European events. For smaller operators and affiliates looking to expand eastward, the networking density at a 2,500-delegate event justifies the travel cost more reliably than a webinar series ever could. Deals struck at events like this frequently shape market entry timelines for the following 12–18 months. Gambling involves financial risk; any business decisions made on the back of summit conversations should be weighed against proper due diligence.
Context
SBC Summit Tbilisi runs in partnership with SMH and has grown into a regional anchor event for the Caucasus and Eastern European iGaming markets. The Sheraton Grand Tbilisi Metechi Palace has hosted the summit previously, providing a fixed-location brand identity that recurring attendees recognise. As of July 2026, SBC operates a portfolio of summits across multiple regions, with Tbilisi serving its emerging-markets segment.
What's Next
The summit opens on 15 July 2026, one week from today. Prospective attendees should confirm registration and travel arrangements immediately given the short lead time.
