Taking place on 27–28 October in Warsaw, the Summit will bring together iGaming, technology, regulatory, fintech and payments professionals to explore the challenges shaping the industry’s 2027 strategies.
HIPTHER Warsaw Summit 2026 is set to bring together iGaming and technology professionals in Warsaw for an agenda focused on some of the key developments reshaping regulated markets and business strategies ahead of 2027.
The fourth edition of the Summit will take place on 27–28 October at the InterContinental Warsaw, bringing together operators, suppliers, regulators, legal and compliance specialists, fintech and payments leaders, affiliates and other decision-makers in a boutique environment designed to encourage direct industry connections.
Regulation and compliance take centre stage
The Compliance & Regulatory Affairs programme will examine regulatory developments across Europe from a practical market perspective, with particular attention to Poland and Central and Eastern Europe (CEE).
Topics will include licensing expansion across Malta, Germany and the Netherlands, operator-supplier contracts amid regulatory change, Responsible Gambling outcomes and AML strategies beyond traditional KYC processes.
One of the highlighted sessions will be the International Masters of Gaming Law (IMGL) masterclass, “Prediction Markets and Sweepstakes at the Regulatory Crossroads: Gambling, Financial Products or a New Category?”, scheduled for Day 1 of the event.
AI, fintech and digital payments
Technology will also play a central role through the TechXperience Stage, where artificial intelligence, fintech and digital identity will be examined through their impact on businesses and regulated industries.
The programme will explore human oversight in AI, autonomous agents in financial services, instant payments, the digital euro, payment resilience, embedded finance and fintech unit economics.
Discussions will also cover digital identity, eIDAS 2.0, EUDI Wallets and trust frameworks, alongside topics such as gaming technology, B2B platform partnerships, human-centred AI and the future of work.
Turning industry discussions into practical action
HIPTHER Academy will complement the main programme with practical workshops covering human-centred AI and personalisation, decision-making and leadership under pressure, AI solutions, fundraising readiness for women-led startups and the transition from agentic AI prototypes to auditable operations.
Additional sessions will examine the skills needed alongside AI, brand visibility in AI-driven environments and the role of search engines in the era of generative search.
According to Zoltan Tündik, Co-Founder & Head of Business at HIPTHER, the Summit aims to connect regulatory developments with practical business execution while encouraging companies to approach compliance, technology and market expansion as interconnected areas.
Networking and the EiGE Awards 2026
Beyond the conference programme, attendees will have access to a series of networking activities, including a Welcome Meet on 26 October, morning sessions, networking opportunities and social gatherings throughout the Summit.
