CEOs of Sportradar and DraftKings to open gaming industry conference

SBC Summit Barcelona – Digital is set to open with two of the sports betting and gaming industry’s most influential figures.

UK.- Carsten Koerl (CEO and Founder, Sportradar) and Jason Robins (Chairman, CEO and Co-Founder, DraftKings) are set to take part in an exclusive In Conversation session.

The session is scheduled to take place on Tuesday 8th September at 10am Central European Summer Timezone (CEST).

The theme of the event’s keynote is ‘The Future of Sports Betting’, and it will see the pair sharing their thoughts on the changing face of the industry and their ideas for its future direction.  

The pair are uniquely well placed to offer insights into the industry; Koerl has made Sportradar into the world’s largest sports data, content and integrity services provider. His actions have driven the ecosystem for online and mobile sports betting and made him a trusted partner to more than 1,000 companies around the globe. 

Robins has emerged as one of the key leaders in the development of the fast-growing US sports betting industry, having guided DraftKings from its roots as a DFS start-up to its current position as a Nasdaq listed digital entertainment and gaming company. 

Rasmus Sojmark, CEO and Founder of SBC, said: “What a great way to start our flagship event. I know our audience will be excited to hear from Carsten and Jason, and ready to learn from two of the industry’s leaders and biggest success stories,”

“The session will undoubtedly set the tone for what promises to be a hugely valuable four days for all attendees, with more than 275 expert speakers sharing insights on the issues shaping the future of the industry, and plenty of opportunities for people to connect and talk business.”

SBC Summit Barcelona – Digital, which takes place between 8 – 11th September 2020, is the largest ever virtual conference and exhibition for the sports betting and gaming industry.

The event platform has four main zones – Sports Betting, Casino and Gaming, Payments and Compliance, and Affiliate and Marketing – each of which features tailored conference content.
