GR8_TECH Debuts Acceler8 Lab Operator Programme at SBC Summit 2026

GR8_TECH will deliver its Acceler8 Lab programme at the SBC Summit 2026, providing a series of operator-focused training sessions over three days in Lisbon. The event, held at GR8_TECH’s Champions Arena (booth C416) in partnership with Go Academy, brings together industry specialists to address operational challenges, new-market execution, leadership models and AI-driven technology in iGaming.

Acceler8 Lab: Three Days of Practical Operator Education

The Acceler8 Lab at SBC Summit 2026 is designed as a hands-on learning environment for iGaming operators. Across all three days of the summit, the Lab hosts daily 30-minute sessions, with leading industry figures offering insight into improving commercial and operational performance. The programme targets decision-makers seeking to optimise workflows, address revenue leakage, and implement new ideas in practice.

Structured Daily Themes for Targeted Insights

Each day of the Acceler8 Lab has a dedicated theme:

• Day 1 — Operational Performance (Tuesday, September 29): Sessions focus on enhancing business efficiency for operators. Topics include revenue leakages during the player journey, the impact of operational delays on conversion and retention, and strategies for early-stage market entry. Attendees receive tools to identify inefficiencies and adopt decision-making practices that improve revenue.
• Day 2 — People & Performance (Wednesday, September 30): The programme examines human factors, such as strengthening player onboarding, manager development, compliance training, and facilitating faster integration for new hires. Speakers will address ways to build stronger operational teams, enhance leadership, and optimise the player experience.
• Day 3 — Future-Ready Operators (Thursday, October 1): Focus shifts to preparing for changes in the industry, touching on evolving sportsbook trading models, scalable market expansion, AI's effect on organisational roles, and integrating continuous learning. Sessions will weigh the balance between technology and human judgement in future-ready operations.

Partnership With Go Academy and Expert-Led Sessions

The initiative is delivered in partnership with Go Academy. The speaker line-up features recognized names spanning iGaming operations, technology, compliance, and leadership, including Andrew Visser, Elaine Gardiner, Shanta Segabon, Fernando Garita, Arjan Korstjens, Nikolas Lotz, Viktoriia Grygorenko, Bartek Borkowski, and Jochen Biewer.

"Acceler8 Lab is for useful conversations. We bring together people who know the industry, give them a focused topic, and create a space where operators can pick up ideas they can take straight back to their teams," said Sergey Ghazaryan, CRO at GR8_TECH.

Attendance is limited. Operators are advised to register for sessions most relevant to their business to secure access to these focused 30-minute discussions.

The Role of Operator Training in iGaming Performance

For operators, investing in targeted training and improvement aligns with the industry's ongoing need to enhance compliance, player experience, and revenue. The Lab's structure offers concise, actionable education as the sector faces complex regulation, market expansion, and the integration of AI and new trading models.

The event’s inclusion of both operational and people-management themes reflects industry recognition that technology alone does not guarantee growth. Balancing new tool adoption with human resources development is a recurring topic across all three days.
