SBC and SMH Pool Their Resources to Host SBC Summit Tbilisi

SBC has announced its first summit in Tbilisi — a conference and exhibition, with a focus on Georgia and adjacent regions such as the Black Sea region, Central Asia and the Balkans.

The event, organised in cooperation with SMH, Georgian iGaming and sports management organisation, aims to explore the opportunities that these regions offer. It will bring together key stakeholders and decision makers in the strategically important city of Tbilisi. Previously, SMH successfully organised the SBC Summit CIS event in Kyiv in 2021, which further strengthened the partnership between both organisations.

Scheduled for October 23-24, 2023 at the Sheraton Grand Tbilisi Metechi Palace Hotel in Tbilisi, the SBC Summit is a wonderful period full of opportunities.

Countries such as Georgia, Ukraine, Romania, Armenia, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan are currently seeing significant legislative changes, opening up valuable opportunities for those who wish to actively engage in discussions about the untapped potential of Georgia and adjacent regions in advance.

The choice of Tbilisi as the host city of the summit was due to the difficulties that industry professionals face when travelling to Western Europe from these regions. With a visa-free regime, a thriving industry and convenient transportation, Tbilisi has become an ideal choice.

In keeping with SBC tradition, this event will offer a seamless blend of education and communication, providing attendees with a comprehensive conference agenda. It will include high quality presentations, engaging panel discussions and informative workshops. The exhibition floor will feature over 20 companies who will be able to showcase their innovative solutions and localised options that can truly revolutionise the attendee experience.
