Global Prediction Markets Forum 2026 takes place on October 1 in Lisbon at the Myriad by SANA Hotel (Parque das Nações). It is organized by SBC Events and runs during SBC Summit week, but is a standalone event with its own ticket.
What it covers
In a couple of years prediction markets (event contracts) went from a niche product to one of the industry's most discussed topics — bookmakers, investors and regulators are all watching. The agenda: regulation, commercial models, market infrastructure, investment, and how prediction markets compete and overlap with traditional betting. Separate discussions cover technology, platform competition and the emergence of a global event-contract market.
Audience
Prediction market platforms and event-contract exchanges, sportsbooks and iGaming operators, regulators, legal advisors, investment funds, trading firms and solution providers. Every attendee receives a digital copy of the Prediction Markets Report 2026 by SBC Insights.
Tickets
Standard Access — €399: the full day, all sessions, networking, coffee breaks, lunch and the report. No SBC Summit ticket required. Prices may change — check with the organizer.
Who should attend
Anyone scouting new verticals: prediction markets are essentially betting in a different legal wrapper, and affiliate programs for them are only just appearing. For current gambling campaigns the forum has no direct payoff.
