How do I get into the SBC Opening Party?
With an SBC Summit VIP, Networking or Business pass; from 20:00 on 29 September at Pavilhão Carlos Lopes.
SBC Summit Opening Party is the official kick-off of SBC Summit 2026. It runs on September 29 from 8 pm to 2 am at Pavilhão Carlos Lopes in Parque Eduardo VII, Lisbon, right after the first day of the expo and conference.
What to expect
DJ sets, entertainment and free drinks. The point of the night is to continue business conversations outside the exhibition hall: according to the organizers, this is where most new contacts between affiliates, operators and vendors are made on day one.
How to get in
Entry is included with the VIP Pass and Networking Pass. Holders of other tickets can buy a Party Pass, but it only covers the INFINITY Lisbon closing party and does not include the Opening Party.
Tip
If your team is going to SBC Summit and plans on evening networking, factor this in when choosing a pass: a Networking Pass with the Opening Party usually pays for itself with one or two meetings with operator managers you cannot catch at the booths during the day.
