SBC Summit 2026: What We Heard from the Show Floor.

Cannot be written until after 1 October. What follows is the skeleton to fill in, not a draft of content.

[Opening: a line or two on the scale of the event and the overall theme our team noticed on site.]

Across three days at FIL and MEO Arena in Lisbon, our team split time across the show floor and the Technology & Innovation, Regulation & Compliance and Global & Emerging Markets stages. [Insert one section per stage or theme, summarising what came up in conversations, attributed to the specific consultant who was there.]

A few things stood out: [insert three or four concrete observations, each attributed to a named member of the team, for example Chris Gyere on tech hiring, Karl Harenburg on the gaming and payments crossover, Lucky Shankar on Malta-based roles.]

If any of this reflects what you're seeing on your side, or you didn't get a chance to speak with us in Lisbon, get in touch and we'll pick up the conversation from here.
