HIPTHER expands Baltics coverage with three separate conferences for 2026

Events organizer HIPTHER will introduce a new event series in 2026, expanding its long-running Baltic conference into three separate gatherings across Vilnius, Riga, and Tallinn.

The rebranded series, titled HIPTHER Baltics, replaces the single annual MARE BALTICUM Gaming & TECH Summit that has rotated among the Baltic capitals since 2018.

The new format will feature three focused events:

• HIPTHER Baltics: Vilnius – iGaming Regulation & Fintech Integration, April 21, 2026, at Hilton Garden Inn Vilnius City Centre.
• HIPTHER Baltics: Riga – Cross-Border Compliance & Player Protection, Baltic Gaming Awards, May 12, 2026, at Grand Hotel Kempinski Riga.
• HIPTHER Baltics: Tallinn – Digital Governance & Startup Innovation & Nordic Focus, June 2, 2026, at Hilton Tallinn Park.

Each conference will cover topics relevant to iGaming, fintech, blockchain, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and other emerging technologies. The program will include panel discussions, interactive sessions and networking opportunities for executives, regulators, suppliers and technology providers.

“Transforming MARE BALTICUM into HIPTHER Baltics marks a huge evolution in how we serve the iGaming and tech ecosystems of the region,” said Zoltan Tündik, Co-founder and Head of Business at HIPTHER.

“By expanding from one annual summit to three flagship events, we’re able to provide more tailored, jurisdiction-specific experiences that dive deeper into the most pressing topics, while continuing to foster the premium networking and knowledge-sharing our community expects,” he added.

The series will retain several elements previously introduced by HIPTHER. Each event will feature a Day 0 Welcome Drinks reception, a Closing Networking Party and the HIPTHER Academy, a learning platform launched in 2024. HIPTHER Academy offers structured training and certification in iGaming and technology for professionals seeking industry-recognized skills.
