Softswiss, in collaboration with iGB and ICE, is set to launch the Tech Race Summit 2026, an event aimed at fostering discussions on engineering and technology within the iGaming industry. This summit will convene experts from leading tech companies to explore the systems that underpin contemporary digital enterprises.
Scheduled for September 10, 2026, the Tech Race Summit will take place in Warsaw, Poland. It will gather leaders from major firms in cloud infrastructure, distributed systems, cybersecurity, observability, and AI, including AWS, Google, Oracle, Cloudflare, Fastly, Gcore, and ScyllaDB.
WorldGaming will serve as a media partner for the Tech Race Summit, facilitating a platform for ongoing dialogue among industry stakeholders. The topics introduced at the summit will be further explored during ICE 2027.
The summit's agenda will prioritize technical decision-making, practical engineering experiences, and the future trajectory of digital infrastructure. Despite the abundance of industry events each year, opportunities for stakeholders to engage in dialogue about prevalent technology issues from an engineering viewpoint have been limited across high-load industries.
Margaret Dunn, portfolio director at WorldGaming (previously Clarion), expressed the significance of this initiative: "Technology is becoming one of the defining forces in iGaming, yet dedicated engineering discussions have remained relatively rare. We are pleased to support Tech Race Summit 2026, as we will be focusing on this topic at ICE 2027. Encouraging knowledge sharing across the industry is an important responsibility, and we believe these conversations will benefit the entire sector."
Softswiss CTO Sergey Kastukevich highlighted the summit's potential, saying it will present an opportunity to "exchange practical experience and better understand where cloud infrastructure, AI, and high-load systems are heading next."
AI has emerged as a central theme in the iGaming sector, with the adoption of various large language models gaining traction. Cubeia, an iGaming platform provider, exemplifies this trend by utilizing AI to generate all its backend and frontend code, aiming to enhance its market speed for client updates. Other examples of AI implementation include AI-driven live casino and slots. As the technology becomes more integrated into the industry, challenges related to its adoption and the tech giants that supply these models will also surface.
Early bird tickets for the Tech Race Summit are offered at a discounted rate until July 31 on the Tech Race website.
