Groove and Ace Alliance to Host Sunset Connections in Lisbon

Groove and Ace Alliance will host Sunset Connections at SUD Lisboa on September 28, bringing iGaming executives and decision-makers together before SBC Summit 2026 begins.

The invite-only event at an iconic waterfront venue will combine premium networking, live music, food and drinks in a relaxed setting. It is scheduled for the Monday evening before SBC Summit 2026, which runs in Lisbon from September 29 to October 1.

Starting the Summit Week Before the Expo Floor

Sunset Connections brings Ace Alliance’s more personal approach to networking to Lisbon. Previous attendees have praised its events for giving people time to build relationships without rushing between booths, panels and scheduled meetings.

Held at SUD Lisboa, the event gives guests the space to connect before SBC Summit begins:

• 19:00 – 20:00: Sunset Cocktails and Connections
• 20:00 – 22:00: Dînatoire and Live Music
• 21:30 – 23:00: Late Lounge and Networking

The format allows conversations to develop naturally before the busier summit schedule begins.
