Countdown begins: SBEA+ summit 2025 in just 3 weeks!
Here Comes the Blaze: Ignite Your iGaming Future at the 10th Annual SBEA+ Summit
Get ready for three weeks of scorching conversations in East Africa's iGaming realm! From 20–21 May 2025, the 10th Annual SBEA+ Summit will conquer Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and its prestigious Serena Hotel. This event is the ultimate gateway to charting the region's gaming future.
The flames of betting have long burned in Tanzania, rooted in an ancient culture that hissed and smoldered long before the emergence of official sportsbooks and casinos. Today, Tanzania leads the charge in East Africa's iGaming transformation, making Dar es Salaam the blazing beacon for this premier event.
Peter Mshikilwa Mukandi, the President of the Esports Federation of Tanzania, had this to flame:
Esports transcends the realms of mere gaming, encompassing a myriad of transferable skills, such as digital literacy, problem-solving, entrepreneurship, and exposure to opportunities beyond just playing.
As the esports sector bursts forth, stakeholders can foster resources and opportunities for youth through skill development, sponsorship, infrastructure, and marketing. Headway can also be made by localizing games to reflect East African stories, cultures, and tongues.
Peter further fanned the flames of potential, underscoring the vast investment opportunities within East Africa's esports arena. Infrastructure development, gaming hubs, internet cafes, and training centers, especially in underprivileged regions, have a growing demand. The region's youthful demographic can also be ignited through influencer marketing, as gamers and streamers lead the charge.
Peter Mshikilwa Mukandi also kindled a spark in the room, stating:
East Africa's iGaming landscape is a rapidly combustible sector brimming with untapped potential. By uniting the youth's fervor for gaming with systematized skill development programs, all stakeholders – educators, entrepreneurs, and beyond – can spark the flames of innovation, employment, and education.
