These events will bring thousands of spectators and have the opportunity to generate economic returns for the host cities and surrounding areas. 🎭 At the same time, the U.S. regularly hosts many large-scale cultural events, such as the Sundance Film Festival, Burning Man, Coachella and SXSW. But what can host cities do to capture the long-term benefits of these events? And how can cities and places not hosting such high-profile festivals and tournaments, still use culture, sports and business events as a leaver of economic and social development? 🌐 With an international panel of high-level speakers and reflections from different U.S. perspectives, this webinar will delve into how local policy makers in the U.S. can leverage the power of culture, sports and business events for local development. 📅 11 July 2024 ⏰ 11.30 AM EST | 5:30 PM CEST Register now 🔗 https://bit.ly/3XL0Bdu

The rise of the SBC events has been a true pleasure to experience. I was at the first ever Sports Betting Community gathering at a lowly pub in Hoxton - I believe back in 2010 (maybe Ras can confirm the exact date!). This week, I have regaled how that first gathering resembled, somewhat aptly, an AA meeting - about 10 of us sat a bit awkwardly in a circle of chairs in a typical east end boozer talking sports betting shop. It definitely pre-dated the notion of memorialising pub visits in camera phone libraries, so here is a stock image to give you an idea, minus bad fashion. The scale that the events have now reached since that first gathering of industry mates is staggering. The Lisbon show this week has been enormous with a reported 25,000+ attendees and a colossal exhibition floorplan. Apparently this is amongst the most number of visitors this city has ever had. I remember when Rasmus Sojmark and I first discussed how great it would be for there to be a community for those involved in sports betting - at the time, conferences were - and to a great extent remain - casino focused. Of course, the SBC Summit is very much inclusive of gaming, but Ras… you’ve bloody well delivered on that mission buddy. Now trying to recall who else was at that very first pub session… the depths of my mind say George Voyatzis, Pierluigi Buccioli, Sam Williams and Ted Menmuir were there. Who else? #SBCSummit
