The Sports Betting West Africa+ (SBWA+) Summit is an annual event that brings together gaming stakeholders from all over the world to discuss the latest trends, challenges, and opportunities in the West African gaming industry. The 8th edition of the summit is scheduled to take place from 22 August to 25 August 2023 at the prestigious Federal Palace Hotel and Casino in Lagos, Nigeria.
Over the years, SBWA+ has established itself as one of the most important gaming events in Africa. It is a platform for operators, regulators, suppliers, and other gaming ecosystem players to network, learn, and forge new business partnerships. The summit has consistently delivered great success, and the organizers expect the 2023 edition to be no exception.
The West African market is a vibrant and growing land of opportunity for local and international attendees. Nigeria, the host country of SBWA+, is one of the largest and most promising gaming markets in Africa, with a population of over 200 million people and a rapidly growing middle class. In addition, many other West African countries such as Ghana, Ivory Coast, and Senegal are also experiencing growth in their gaming industries.
One of the key features of SBWA+ is its reputation as a "deal-closer" event. Attendees come to the summit with the expectation of striking new business deals and partnerships, and the summit provides an ideal environment for that. The networking opportunities at SBWA+ are unparalleled, with hundreds of gaming stakeholders from all over the world in attendance.
To network, SBWA+ offers attendees the opportunity to learn about the latest developments in the West African gaming industry. The summit features a comprehensive conference program that covers a wide range of topics such as sports betting, casino gaming, lottery, regulation, and technology. The speakers are experts in their fields and come from diverse backgrounds, including gaming operators, regulators, consultants, and suppliers.
One of the main topics of discussion at SBWA+ is gaming regulation in Nigeria and other West African countries. As the gaming industry in the region continues to grow, regulators are facing new challenges in ensuring that the industry operates in a fair and transparent manner. The summit provides an opportunity for regulators to share their experiences and learn from each other, as well as for gaming operators to gain insight into the best capitalizing practices that can maximize their profits and market share.
Another important aspect of SBWA+ is the exhibition, which showcases the latest products and services from gaming suppliers. The exhibition provides attendees with the opportunity to see and experience new gaming technologies, platforms, and products firsthand. The exhibitors are a mix of local and international suppliers, offering a diverse range of products and services.
