Finally, the sports commentator will share his expectations for the upcoming FIFA World Cup from a sports and gambling perspective.

Cristian Robalino, VP Marketing, Americas at SBC commented on Varsky's involvement at the Summit: "Juan Pablo is not only a well-recognized professional in the Latin American sports media market but also a respected professional known for his credible and transparent reporting. We are looking forward to welcoming him to Miami and believe that this keynote will not only be of huge interest to the SBC Summit Latinoamérica delegates but also an inspiration for our attendees."

Throughout his career, Varsky has written for the newspaper La Nación and worked on numerous TV channels such as Telefé, Canal 13, TNT Sports, DirecTV Sports, and AméricaTV. The journalist hosted the TV program "Más Que Fútbol" and "Perspectivas Desde Buenos Aires" series on the Spanish edition of CNN. Varsky is also an experienced radio host, with projects like " La Tarde de CNN" (CNN Radio), "Basta de Todo" and "No Somos Nadie" (FM METRO 95.1) under his belt. 

Varsky's professional resumé includes coverage of soccer matches from major international leagues such as the FIFA World Cup, European tournaments such as the UEFA Champions League, and multiple South American tournaments. The journalist has also acted as a commentator for the Olympic Games.
