SiGMA joins SOFTSWISS backed Tech Race Summit as media partner in Warsaw

SiGMA has been named a media partner for the inaugural Tech Race Summit, a new technology-focused event organised by SOFTSWISS and scheduled to take place on 10 September 2026 at Centrum Praskie Koneser in Warsaw, Poland. The partnership places SiGMA alongside an event designed to encourage practical discussion about technology, infrastructure and engineering across iGaming and other high-load industries.

The Tech Race Summit is being positioned as a cross-industry technology forum rather than a conventional commercial conference. Its programme is intended to address the technical challenges faced by companies operating large-scale digital platforms, with discussions covering artificial intelligence, cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity, high-load architecture and technology leadership. SOFTSWISS officially announced the summit in April 2026 and has subsequently confirmed speakers and programme details.

SiGMA expands technology-focused event presence

For SiGMA, the partnership provides an opportunity to extend its industry reach into a technology discussion that sits at the intersection of iGaming and the wider digital economy. SiGMA has an established presence across the global iGaming events landscape, while the Tech Race Summit is seeking to connect professionals who build and manage the infrastructure behind high-volume digital businesses.

The relationship also reflects the increasingly technical nature of the iGaming sector. Operators and suppliers now depend on infrastructure capable of supporting substantial traffic volumes, real-time transactions, data-intensive services and increasingly sophisticated artificial intelligence applications.

Rather than treating those subjects solely as commercial technology trends, the summit is designed around the practical experiences of engineers, architects, technology executives and product leaders. Its stated objective is to create an environment where specialists can compare approaches to complex technical problems and learn from experience across different industries.

Tech Race Summit targets high-load technology challenges

The Tech Race Summit is scheduled for 10 September 2026 in Warsaw and is expected to bring together approximately 1,000 participants. The official event programme describes the gathering as a cross-industry summit for executives, engineers and architects involved in building and scaling digital products.

The event website currently lists more than 30 international speakers and representatives from more than 20 companies. It also identifies iGaming, fintech, entertainment and AI-driven businesses among the sectors expected to be represented.

This cross-sector approach is central to the event's positioning. Many infrastructure problems are not exclusive to gambling technology. Issues involving traffic management, system resilience, cloud architecture, cybersecurity, real-time data and application performance can affect businesses across multiple digital industries.

The organisers therefore intend to use the summit to facilitate knowledge exchange between sectors rather than limiting discussions to iGaming-specific applications.

Artificial intelligence and cloud infrastructure take centre stage

Artificial intelligence is expected to be one of the major themes at the Warsaw event. The published programme includes sessions addressing AI infrastructure, strategic AI adoption and the impact of AI on engineering teams.

The agenda also includes technology discussions involving AWS and Oracle. A session titled “Building AI Infrastructure and Platforms for the Future: Oracle’s perspective” is listed alongside an AWS session focused on AI maturity and strategic adoption.

These topics are particularly relevant to companies developing large-scale digital products. AI adoption can require changes to computing capacity, data architecture, storage, security controls and development workflows. For businesses operating continuously across multiple markets, those decisions can also have implications for resilience, performance and operational costs.

The summit is therefore expected to examine AI from an implementation and infrastructure perspective rather than treating it solely as a consumer-facing innovation.

Cybersecurity remains a central technology concern

Cybersecurity is another major theme running through the Tech Race Summit programme. The event lists cybersecurity and risk management among its principal subject areas and includes discussions about the relationship between AI, cyber risk and modern infrastructure.

For iGaming businesses, security considerations extend across payments, customer accounts, personal information, authentication systems and platform availability. The technical environment can also be complicated by regulatory requirements that differ between jurisdictions.

A cross-industry forum may allow technology professionals to compare security practices with approaches used in fintech, cloud services and other sectors where reliability and data protection are critical operational priorities.

The summit's focus on practical engineering experience is particularly relevant in this context because cybersecurity strategies increasingly involve the architecture of the underlying platform rather than relying only on standalone security tools.

Global technology companies join the programme

The confirmed speaker programme includes representatives from several major technology organisations. The official Tech Race Summit website currently highlights AWS, Oracle, Cloudflare, Fastly and Gcore among the companies represented at the event.

Cloudflare and Fastly bring expertise associated with internet infrastructure, connectivity and large-scale digital delivery. Gcore is represented in discussions focused on infrastructure challenges faced by high-load platforms. AWS and Oracle are participating in sessions examining cloud and AI-related technology.

The participation of companies operating outside the traditional iGaming supplier ecosystem supports the organisers' broader objective of encouraging cross-industry learning.

The summit has also confirmed Andrey Doronichev as a keynote speaker. Doronichev is a former Google executive and the founder and CEO of OPTIC. According to SOFTSWISS, his career included work on YouTube Mobile and virtual reality initiatives at Google.

Sergey Kastukevich highlights cross-industry learning

Sergey Kastukevich, chief technology officer at SOFTSWISS, has described the summit as a response to the need for deeper technical discussions within the industry.

“The technology questions we face in igaming are not unique to our industry. Engineers working in cloud platforms, fintech, or telecommunications often solve similar problems in different ways. Tech Race Summit creates an opportunity to compare those approaches, challenge established thinking and learn from one another. We are pleased to have SiGMA supporting this initiative and helping these discussions reach a wider audience.”

The statement reflects the summit's central premise that technology challenges can often be better understood when professionals compare solutions across sectors.

Kastukevich is also listed on the official event programme as CTO of SOFTSWISS, with a focus on software architecture and scalable systems.

Three tracks offer different perspectives

The Tech Race Summit is structured around three parallel stages covering strategic discussions, technical implementation and experimental approaches. The official programme currently identifies these as the Vision Track, Solution Track and Experiment Track.

The Vision Track is aimed at broader discussions around technology transformation, AI, cybersecurity and business strategy. The Solution Track is intended to provide more detailed technical sessions and case studies. The Experiment Track focuses on practical demonstrations and emerging approaches.

This structure allows the event to address different levels of technology decision-making. Senior executives can examine strategic implications while engineers and architects can focus on implementation challenges and technical solutions.

Why the event matters for iGaming technology

The importance of technology infrastructure within iGaming has grown as platforms have become more interconnected and data-driven. Modern operators must manage large volumes of activity while maintaining platform availability, security and responsive user experiences.

Technology decisions can also influence how quickly operators introduce new products or adapt to changing market conditions. Cloud infrastructure, automated processes, data systems and AI tools increasingly form part of the technology stack supporting these operations.

The Tech Race Summit's cross-industry format could therefore provide useful perspectives for iGaming professionals who want to understand how other high-load businesses approach scalability and resilience.

For SiGMA, involvement in the event also provides a route to bring these technical conversations to a broader iGaming audience. Its role as a media partner is aligned with the summit's stated ambition to expand knowledge exchange beyond traditional industry boundaries.

Warsaw prepares for a technology-focused gathering

With the event scheduled for 10 September 2026, the Tech Race Summit is moving toward its inaugural edition with a programme that combines iGaming expertise with broader technology perspectives.

The event will take place at Centrum Praskie Koneser in Warsaw and is planned as a full-day conference. The official website states that sessions will be held in English and that attendees will be able to move between the three programme stages during the day.

The organisers have also promoted the summit as a forum for senior technology professionals, including CTOs, architects, engineers, infrastructure specialists, AI professionals and product leaders.

Conclusion

The partnership between SiGMA and the Tech Race Summit highlights how technology is becoming an increasingly important part of the wider iGaming conversation. While commercial strategy remains central to the sector, the infrastructure supporting digital products has become equally important to long-term operational performance.

By bringing together specialists from iGaming and other high-load industries, the Warsaw summit aims to create a setting where technical knowledge can be exchanged without being restricted by traditional sector boundaries. The participation of major technology companies and experienced technology leaders gives the programme a broad perspective on AI, cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity and scalable systems.

SiGMA's involvement could further increase the visibility of those discussions among the international iGaming community. For professionals responsible for building, securing and scaling digital platforms, the event represents an opportunity to examine technology decisions through a wider industry lens.

Ultimately, the value of the Tech Race Summit will depend on the practical knowledge shared by its participants. Its emphasis on engineering experience, real-world infrastructure challenges and cross-industry collaboration gives the event a clear technical identity as it prepares for its first edition in Warsaw.
