Barcelona signals ICE's evolution; Brazil's trajectory demands operators' immediate strategic attention.
We've worked 150+ partners across 30 years—I watched London become the gaming hub. Barcelona's move signals where the industry sees growth. Brazil especially matters because regulated markets don't stay nascent long. Our network touches every operator moving into these spaces. What happens at ICE shapes where capital and talent flow next.
- ICE relocated to Barcelona after 20+ years in London, reflecting industry geography shift
- Brazilian market momentum is accelerating and demands operator focus
- Sweepstakes and emerging verticals reshaping the competitive landscape
SCCG angle: We connect operators with the right partners in every regulated market—including Brazil. Watch our network's intel on Barcelona attendees and Brazilian market movers; we help clients identify and reach the decision-makers reshaping regional plays before the next quarter closes.
