🎙️ In the interview with iGaming Express, Rasmus Sojmark, Founder & CEO of SBC, shares his perspective on the evolution of SBC since its inception in 2009, and his views on the dynamic changes within the iGaming industry.

Thank you to Bartosz Burzyński, Mateusz Mazur and our good friends iGaming Express for publishing this incredibly awesome and insightful interview with me. Focus of the interview is on the "Greatest Show in Gaming" which is of course our flagship event in Lisbon, aka the SBC Summit. I do also share details on the history and evolution of SBC since its inception in 2009, and my views on the dynamic changes within the iGaming industry; and believe it or not, I went as far as sharing interesting insights of my view of both the future of SBC and the industry at large. Have a read and I am sure you will enjoy the interview. Just look at some of these rather bold claims and interview teasers :)) "But to be honest I see the most influential people listing more as a recognition of the people at SBC rather than a personal endorsement for me. We’ve developed a great team where I don’t need to be the central figure in order to provide a fantastic service." "In 2024 we are bigger and stronger than ever with a multitude of large-scale industry events such as SBC Summit in Lisbon (with an event that will be bigger than ICE was in 2024), SBC Summit Rio (similar size as G2E Vegas), and SBC Summit Americas which is similar in size to the other large industry events." "Today we are close to being the main organiser and content hub for the entire gaming industry, or you can also argue we are the biggest organiser today based on the size of our regional events" "The acceptability of gambling as a legitimate entertainment and how that ebbs and flows over the years. I moved to the UK almost 20 years ago where gambling is way more visible than in other countries because of its long legal standing." "There is a backlash in some of the more established markets now – but that tends to be where the industry has over-marketed itself which tends to be one of the consequences of competitive markets." "I am looking forward to our first SBC Summit on The Moon too. We’re just waiting for a suitable transportation and better venue options." #sbc #sbcevents #sbcmedia #sbcsummit #sbcsummitlisbon #igamingexpress
