SBC is giving all delegates at the upcoming SBC Digital Summit North America virtual trade show the chance to invite a furloughed or laid-off colleague to join them at the event free of charge.
In light of the unprecedented economic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic, which has left many people in the gaming industry out of a job, SBC is running a “Pay It Forward — Invite A Furloughed Friend” initiative for its online conference and exhibition in July.
All attendees, upon registration, will have the opportunity to invite a friend who is out of work as a result of the pandemic to join them at the Summit.
Sue Schneider, SBC’s VP Growth & Strategy, Americas, said: “It’s been terrible to see so many people in our industry lose their jobs as a result of this pandemic and we wanted to do something to help some of them feel that they are still part of the betting and gaming community.
“By inviting a friend who has been furloughed or laid off to attend SBC Digital Summit North America, you can help them to stay up to date with the latest developments in the industry and give them the opportunity to make new industry contacts.
SBC Digital Summit North America, which takes place July 14-16, will use an advanced technological platform to replicate the key benefits of a physical trade show and make them accessible to delegates from their homes and offices.
The five conference tracks are: Regulatory, Online, Sports, Land-Based, and Innovation. The conference’s roster consists of 75 executive speakers from the worlds of igaming, sports betting, casinos, lotteries, tribal gaming, and affiliate marketing.
The content will be accompanied by a program of themed networking sessions, allowing attendees to make new connections with people who have shared business interests. There will be further opportunities to connect during workshops showcasing the latest technologies, in the virtual networking lounge, and via the event platform’s one-to-one chat facility.
There is also a 30-booth interactive exhibition that will see major industry suppliers and innovative start-ups display their latest products, along with a program of product presentations and Q&As throughout the three days of the event.
