Boutique Conference Focuses on High-Level Intelligence, Cross-Industry Dialogue, and Practical Learning at the InterContinental Warsaw

Regulated digital industries facing accelerating shifts across technology, regulation, and consumer expectations will gather for the HIPTHER Warsaw Summit 2026. Scheduled to take place from October 27–28, 2026, at the InterContinental Warsaw by IHG, the event brings together industry decision-makers, regulators, and innovators for two intensive days of strategic intelligence, cross-industry dialogue, and curated networking.

Designed to cut through the noise of traditional mega-shows, the summit prioritizes focused access and meaningful professional connections.

From Regulation to AI: One Connected Business Agenda

The comprehensive 2026 agenda addresses the primary forces reshaping regulated digital markets across Europe. Key focal points include:

  • Gambling Regulation & Compliance: Examining market developments, regulatory updates, and compliance expectations.
  • Player Protection & Financial Integrity: Deep dives into Responsible Gambling, Anti-Money Laundering (AML), and advanced fraud prevention frameworks.
  • Digital Identity & eIDAS 2.0: Exploring secure digital identity protocols and regulatory frameworks.
  • Fintech & Payments: Addressing friction reduction in banking, payments, and transaction infrastructure.
  • Emerging Technologies & Marketing: Evaluating responsible AI implementation, cybersecurity, operational resilience, SEO, AI-powered discoverability, business development, and leadership strategies.

By placing regulators, operators, legal experts, and technology providers in the same room, the conference aims to explore not only what is changing across the industry, but what actionable steps businesses must take next.

A Boutique Format Focused on Access Over Scale

In an event calendar frequently dominated by massive exhibition floors and scattered schedules, HIPTHER maintains a deliberate boutique conference model. Attendees benefit from an environment that encourages direct engagement with speakers and peers during panels, structured networking lunches, and dedicated breaks.

Zoltan Tündik, Co-Founder and Head of Business at HIPTHER, emphasized the core philosophy behind the event:

“In an event landscape increasingly dominated by overwhelming mega-shows, HIPTHER Warsaw Summit is intentionally built around focus, access, and value. As technology, compliance, and market demands converge faster than ever, our goal is to bring the right leaders into the same room, not just to discuss what’s changing across Europe, but to leave with clear, actionable strategies for what to do next. From AI implementation and eIDAS 2.0 to responsible gambling and payments, this year’s agenda brings regulators, operators, and tech pioneers together for direct, high-level dialogue and practical learning that extends far beyond the stage.”

Practical Learning and Integrated Networking

To bridge theoretical discussions with hands-on application, the summit incorporates HIPTHER Academy, featuring expert-led workshops designed to translate industry insights into professional capabilities.

Networking is treated as an essential pillar of the experience rather than an afterthought, featuring integrated morning wellness sessions, structured coffee breaks, collaborative lunches, and evening gatherings. Additionally, the event will host the European iGaming Excellence Awards (EiGE Awards 2026), celebrating standout achievements and contributions across the European iGaming sector.

Bringing together operators, suppliers, compliance officers, fintech specialists, AI experts, and legal minds from Poland, Europe, and beyond, the Warsaw Summit provides a centralized platform for turning industry challenges into collaborative solutions.
