SOFTSWISS has teamed up with industry heavyweights iGB and ICE to launch the Tech Race Summit 2026, a new forum dedicated to engineering and technology within the iGaming sector. The event is slated for September 10, 2026, in Warsaw, Poland, featuring leaders from companies like AWS, Google, Oracle, and Cloudflare. This summit aims to foster dialogue on digital infrastructure and teaching practices within high-load industries.

Focus on Engineering in iGaming
The Tech Race Summit targets a gap in the iGaming industry — technical decision-making and real-world engineering experience. The event will gather minds from cloud infrastructure, distributed systems, and artificial intelligence (AI) to discuss the future trajectory of digital infrastructure. Margaret Dunn, WorldGaming’s portfolio director, highlighted the importance of these discussions, stating, “Technology is becoming one of the defining forces in iGaming, yet dedicated engineering discussions have remained relatively rare.”
Continuing the Conversation at ICE 2027
WorldGaming, serving as the media partner, will ensure that discussions continue seamlessly into ICE 2027. And according to Dunn, this continuity is key for encouraging knowledge sharing across the sector. Notably, ICE 2027 will feature special sessions focused on big tech and engineering, positioning itself as an essential platform for these critical tech dialogues.
AI’s Ascending Role
AI has rapidly become a focal point in the iGaming industry, with companies like Cubeia using AI for developing back and frontend code to accelerate client updates. The summit will likely address broader challenges with increasing AI adoption, as Sergey Kastukevich, SOFTSWISS CTO, noted the importance of understanding where cloud infrastructure and AI are headed next. AI-powered innovations, like live casinos and slots, continue to shape the market.
Market Context and Future Outlook
Despite numerous industry events each year, actual engineering discussions have been sparse. This summit aims to change that, aligning with the wider push for technological advancement in iGaming. The Tech Race Summit’s timing is notable — happening just before ICE 2027, where the industry will gather again to dig deeper into these tech discussions. Early bird tickets for Tech Race Summit 2026 are available until July 31, offering a chance for operators to secure their place in these pivotal conversations. The buzz generated in Warsaw will set the stage for the more extensive dialogues at ICE 2027.
