HIPTHER releases draft agenda for Prague Summit 2026

HIPTHER has announced the draft agenda for the HIPTHER Prague Summit 2026, which will take place 24–25 March at Vienna House by Wyndham Andel’s Prague.

The event marks the Summit’s 10-year anniversary and will expand to its largest format yet, featuring three stages and the HIPTHER Academy workshop track.

The 2026 edition focuses on compliance strategy, digital finance, and emerging tech, bringing regulators, operators, fintech leaders, and C-level executives together for two days of executive learning and high-level networking.

The 2026 Summit expands into three main stages plus the HIPTHER Academy. Stage 1, the Compliance & Operations Lab, will cover the Czech Republic Market Outlook for 2025, a Regulators’ Roundtable featuring confirmed participation from Estonia, Romania, and Malta, and a German Operators Forum highlighting performance insights from leading operators. It will also include a Pan-European Compliance Radar spanning more than 20 jurisdictions—including LATAM, the U.S., and Canada—along with sessions on measurable Responsible Gaming initiatives and an IMGL MasterClass.

Stage 2, the AML & Digital Finance Lab, will focus on AML, KYC, and enhanced verification trends for 2025, real-world case studies on navigating “grey zone” challenges, and the evolving relationship between banking and iGaming. Additional sessions will address cybersecurity across the payment chain, risk scoring and fraud detection, cross-border taxation strategies, and developments in digital identity and eID wallets.

Moreover, Stage 3, the TechXperience Stage, will spotlight practical enterprise applications of Web3, blockchain infrastructure for high-compliance industries, and the convergence of esports business models with betting. The stage will also feature sessions on AI-driven operations and media automation, an SEO keynote delivered by a former Google leader, a keynote by Karolina Pelc, and Innovation Lab Lightning Talks showcasing startup breakthroughs.

Meanwhile, the HIPTHER Academy track will include upcoming workshops and developing professional certification programs, with further details to be announced.

Co-Founder Zoltan Tündik said the summit’s expanded format sets “a new benchmark for executive learning, regulatory dialogue, and high-impact networking” as the event celebrates 10 years.

Early Bird passes are available until 31 December, with Delegate, Group, and Combo options.
