SBC doubles down on its mission to uplift women in sports betting, iGaming, and related fields with the launch of the Women Empowerment Initiative (WE).
WE aims to connect, educate, and empower women, fostering a community of strong, inspired leaders ready to make an impact.
Starting this September, SBC will roll out a special program at the SBC Summit, held at Feira Internacional de Lisboa on 24-26 September.
Groups such as All-In Diversity Project, Brazil-focused Association of Women in the Gaming Industry (AMIG), LATAM-facing Asociación Femenina de Gaming (ASFEG), Global Gaming Women (GGW), SheEOs, Malta-based Women in Gaming Group, and Women in Gaming – African Chapter are already backing this effort to unite and empower women.
With the Lisbon conference less than two months away, SBC is now expanding its mission. Formalising this initiative by giving it a name and purpose marks the first step in showcasing the company’s commitment to creating a year-round support network that extends beyond SBC Summit and other events.
The SBC Summit 2024 itinerary will feature a robust program designed to foster connections among women. Highlights include a dînatoire, a dedicated meet-up on the expo floor with curated ice-breakers, the beloved GGW breakfast tradition, and conference content addressing the most relevant issues facing women in our industry.
Furthermore, SBC will hold a small special recognition ceremony for two outstanding women in the industry who have not only excelled professionally but have also dedicated themselves to mentoring and advocating for women in sports betting and iGaming. SBC Women Empowerment Initiative
Mouriño added: “As we embark on this initiative, it’s important to honour and celebrate both an established legacy and an emerging star committed to empowering her peers, without waiting for everything to be perfectly in place.”
SBC encourages women in this industry to reach out to [email protected] to get involved and share their ideas for improving industry representation.
