History
Grew from an SBC Barcelona conference (documented from around 2015) that scaled from about 2,000 attendees (2021) to about 6,000 (2022) to about 15,000 (2023) under the SBC Summit Barcelona name at Fira de Barcelona Montjuic. Moved to the Feira Internacional de Lisboa (FIL) and MEO Arena for 2024, drawing 30,000+ attendees by 2025 (76.6% first-time attendees, 57.5% new companies). The 2026 (29 Sep-1 Oct) and 2027 (21-23 Sep) dates were confirmed years in advance, in 2023.

How well established
The attendance series, the venue move and the 2026 and 2027 dates come from the organiser's own announcements. The ticket prices come from a third-party listing rather than from SBC's own pricing page, and the pre-2021 Barcelona history is documented only loosely.
