It’s hard to find a business sector evolving faster today than iGaming. Perhaps only Formula 1, with its incredible speed, comes close. Champions of innovation and speed, Ivan Montik, Founder of SOFTSWISS and Rubens Barrichello, former F1 driver and Non-Executive Director in Latin America at SOFTSWISS, will take the Super Stage at the SBC Summit in Lisbon on 16 September. Their fireside chat, Excellence Under Pressure: Evolving in a Fast-Moving Space, will explore how to thrive in an industry that never slows down.

The SBC Summit is one of the world’s leading events for the sports betting and iGaming industry, bringing together more than 25,000 delegates, 600 speakers, and 1,000 exhibitors from across the globe. Its Super Stage hosts the headline sessions, featuring thought leaders who shape the industry’s future. Against this backdrop, the fireside chat between Montik and Barrichello promises to be a highlight of the Lisbon event.

In Formula 1, excellence means performing at the limit while rules and technology constantly evolve. iGaming is no different. In this fireside chat, Ivan Montik and Rubens Barrichello will explore how to sustain excellence under pressure –  turning regulation into advantage, balancing speed with reliability, and building systems that adapt without breaking. Barrichello will share lessons from F1’s rapid technological changes, while Montik will show how SOFTSWISS applies similar agility in iGaming, innovating quickly while ensuring compliance and stability.

Last year, Montik and Barrichello’s dialogue on leadership became one of the highlights of the SBC Leaders Summit, sparking strong interest from the audience. Building on that success, they return to the stage this year with a new focus: innovation. 

“Excellence under pressure means building systems that adapt fast without breaking. As a founder, I always stand for consistency, reputation, and delivering for our clients. We never innovate for the sake of innovation – but we always look ahead. Our R&D team closely monitors trends so we don’t miss them, but create them. At the same time, we ensure stable, uninterrupted iGaming software that runs 24/7 with uptime close to 100%. At this speed, it’s about taking every curve smoothly and helping our clients lead in every market. I look forward to meeting our partners at the Summit, sharing insights, and connecting in person,” said Ivan Montik, Founder of SOFTSWISS.

Ivan Montik and Rubens Barrichello will also join the SOFTSWISS team at Stand B160 to discuss the business and innovations worldwide.
