HIPTHER, the leading, international media hub and event organizer for the Technology and Gaming industries, is excited to reveal a significant rebrand and structural evolution for its events beginning in 2026.
The new strategy includes a heightened focus on learning and networking within the Baltics and the introduction of an innovative digital events lounge. The flagship HIPTHER Events have been rebranded as the HIPTHER Prague Summit, HIPTHER Warsaw Summit, and HIPTHER Baltics, with the latter expanding into three distinct annual events, each hosted in a different Baltic capital.
10+ Years of Learning, Innovation & Networking
In 2026, HIPTHER will commemorate a decade of influence in the Gaming and Tech events landscape, celebrating the 10th anniversary of its premier boutique summit in Central and Eastern Europe, formerly known as the Prague Gaming & TECH Summit.
Originating in the dynamic Gaming sector, HIPTHER foresaw the convergence of Technology and iGaming, integrating sessions and networking for emerging fields like Fintech, Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence, and VR/AR. This forward-thinking approach solidified HIPTHER as the organizer of leading boutique Gaming & Tech events in Europe, attracting a loyal following from the industry’s most innovative companies.
Over the past decade, the primary HIPTHER Events included:
- Prague Gaming & TECH Summit – A cornerstone event for the GameTech industry in the CEE region and beyond.
- MARE BALTICUM Gaming & TECH Summit – The central networking hub for the Baltics, rotating annually between the three capitals.
- European Gaming Congress (EGC) – The definitive conference for Gaming industry leaders and experts, held in Warsaw.
HIPTHER 2.0: The Natural Evolution of Branding & Connections
Throughout 2024 and 2025, a strategic effort was made to communicate all events under the unified HIPTHER brand across various channels. This strategy proved successful, leading to increased word-of-mouth recognition as the community began referring to the events as “HIPTHER Prague”, “HIPTHER Warsaw”, or simply the “HIPTHER Summits”.
As a natural progression, HIPTHER Events are now officially rebranded as the “HIPTHER Prague Summit”, “HIPTHER Warsaw Summit”, and “HIPTHER Baltics”. The latter will now consist of three separate yearly conferences, one in each Baltic capital:
- HIPTHER Baltics: Vilnius (HIPTHER Vilnius)
- HIPTHER Baltics: Riga (HIPTHER Riga)
- HIPTHER Baltics: Tallinn (HIPTHER Tallinn)
Each of these conferences will showcase the distinct character and innovative spirit of the local industries while connecting them with Gaming and Tech leaders from across Europe and the globe.
Introducing the HIPTHER Lounge – Smart Digital Networking
In conjunction with the rebrand, HIPTHER is proud to introduce the HIPTHER Lounge, a digital event companion created to make participation smarter, more streamlined, and better connected.
With a single profile, attendees can:
- Register for all HIPTHER events with ease.
- Get real-time access to agendas, speaker information, venue maps, and alerts.
- Utilize AI-powered networking and intelligent meeting scheduling.
- Receive personalized connection suggestions and access post-event content.
- Benefit from timely reminders and notifications to stay informed before, during, and after each event.
The HIPTHER Lounge represents the future of event engagement, offering a centralized digital space for education, networking, and significant business development.
Zoltan Tuendik, Co-Founder of HIPTHER, shared his thoughts on this new chapter for HIPTHER Events:
“After a decade, we’ve come to understand that the real value of our events is not found on the stage or in the spotlight, but in the connections we facilitate and the futures we help build together. At HIPTHER, we aim to anticipate trends rather than follow them, connecting the dots and creating platforms where the ideas of tomorrow can meet the innovators of today. As technology changes how we interact, our goal is to make those connections more intelligent, more impactful, and, most importantly, more human.”
