On Day 2 (March 25, 2026) at 12:00 PM, Yaroslav will take the stage in the QUARTZ Room for a session called: “Game Innovation & Studio Growth: What Scales in 2026.”
Led by the esteemed industry personality Michael Caselli, the dialogue unites a panel of experienced experts, featuring Robert Lenzhofer (Hölle Games), Alexis Wicén (Scatters Group), Alessia Paiano, and Assaf Stieglitz. The session aims to investigate the realities of the contemporary gaming scene, aiding in differentiating between short-term experiments and the sustainable growth strategies that succeed in a competitive, regulated setting.
Yaroslav Soloshenko, Head of Business Development at ELA Games, said of the upcoming session: “Innovation in 2026 is defined by how a good idea adapts to the specific needs of the market. ELA Games is focused on the artistry of our games, making sure every animation and feature meets a standard of quality that itself is a core selling point for our partners. Scaling today requires us to push creative boundaries while finding new ways to maintain a competitive edge in a crowded and ever-changing market. It’s an honor to join such a distinguished panel at the Prague Summit, particularly as HIPTHER marks a decade of bringing together some of the most influential voices in the CEE region.”
The discussion will center on various critical aspects of studio development, such as:
Strategic Innovation Cycles: Syncing ambitious creative experimentation with the practical needs of product-market fit and scalable business success.
Efficient Distribution: Ways specialized studios can broaden their audience via strategic aggregation and partnerships with platforms.
Creative Adaptation: Preserving a studio’s artistic identity while effectively managing the changing technical and regulatory requirements of European markets.

Premier BSA/AML Gaming Conference Returns to Las Vegas
The BSA-AML Compliance Group has announced the return of the Annual BSA/AML Gaming Conference, the most respected and comprehensive anti-money laundering compliance event in the gaming industry. The 2026 conference will be held at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas from September 15–17, with a dedicated “Fundamentals Day” on Monday, September 14 for newer professionals and those seeking a refresher in core BSA/AML principles.
Headline Keynotes and Distinguished Guests Announced
This year’s event features presentations from some of the most influential figures in financial crime enforcement and policy:
Michael Dreitzer, Chairman of the Nevada Gaming Control Board, will deliver a keynote outlining how the gaming capital of the world has addressed illicit finance risk, including through a series of new rules for the casino industry as well as several significant enforcement actions.
Jarod Koopman, Chief of IRS Criminal Investigation (IRS-CI) and Chief Tax Compliance Officer, will address his dual leadership role overseeing IRS Criminal Investigation and all of civil tax compliance operations. His keynote will provide insights into emerging financial crime threats, compliance priorities, and financial crime enforcement trends. He will also discuss the critical role of Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) and Currency Transaction Reports (CTRs) in supporting federal investigations, including recent matters impacting the gaming industry.
Several other high-level government officials — state and federal, civil and criminal — will be announced in the near future. The conference will also host experts from commercial and tribal casinos, academia, and other practitioners focused on money laundering in the gaming industry.
Last year, more than 560 attendees from 40 states, six foreign countries, dozens of Native American tribes, and over 160 gaming entities attended with overwhelmingly positive feedback regarding speaker access, practical insights and networking.
The agenda will also feature in-depth studies and presentations regarding recent enforcement actions; emerging issues involving know-your-customer and source of funds; presentations regarding data analysis; artificial intelligence and innovation; and legal, regulatory, and money laundering issues surrounding prediction markets such as Kalshi and Polymarket.
“Thanks to our phenomenal speakers and amazing audience, we’re proud to host an event that brings together compliance officers and government officials to make it the premier event for AML and sanctions compliance in the gaming industry. With keynote speakers like Chief Koopman and Chairman Dreitzer, we’re looking forward to an excellent conference,” said Brian Lopez, Co-Founder of the BSA-AML Compliance Group.

HIPTHER proudly concludes the inaugural edition of its expanded HIPTHER Baltics 2026 conference series, successfully bringing together a total of 430 participants across three dedicated events in Vilnius, Riga, and Tallinn.
Building on the legacy of the MARE BALTICUM Gaming & TECH Summit and introducing a new, country-focused format, HIPTHER Baltics 2026 delivered three high-impact conferences designed around the most pressing regulatory, technological, and business developments shaping the Baltic and Nordic regions. The series focused on creating meaningful dialogue between regulators, operators, fintech leaders, technology innovators, legal experts, investors, and compliance professionals.
The 2026 edition featured:
- HIPTHER Baltics: Vilnius – iGaming Regulation & Fintech Integration
- HIPTHER Baltics: Riga – Cross-Border Compliance & Player Protection
- HIPTHER Baltics & Nordics: Tallinn – Digital Governance & Startup Innovation
Vilnius: Exploring Lithuania’s Regulatory Transformation
The series launched on 21 April in Vilnius, where discussions focused on Lithuania’s evolving regulatory landscape and the increasing convergence of fintech, payments, blockchain, and iGaming.
Industry leaders examined topics including MiCA implementation, AML requirements, digital assets, banking transformation, tokenisation, AI adoption in financial services, next-generation payments, and the growing role of compliance in sustainable business growth. The event marked the beginning of a new chapter for Baltic-focused industry conversations and set the tone for the months ahead.
Riga: Regulation, Risk and Growth in a Changing Market
On 11 May, HIPTHER Baltics arrived in Riga, bringing together experts from gaming, fintech, legal, compliance, and technology sectors for a day dedicated to practical business realities.
Key conversations addressed responsible gaming, player protection, AML implementation, fraud prevention, AI in supervision and taxation, payments innovation, cross-border licensing, data protection, affiliate marketing, and the transition from traditional SEO to AI-powered discoverability. The Riga edition highlighted how businesses can remain compliant while continuing to innovate and grow in increasingly regulated environments.
Tallinn: Digital Governance Meets Innovation
The series concluded on 2 June in Tallinn, one of Europe’s most digitally advanced capitals.
The event explored the intersection of digital governance, startup ecosystems, digital identity, compliance, investment, fintech innovation, and iGaming. Discussions ranged from eIDAS 2.0 and trusted digital onboarding to sustainable player acquisition, operational partnerships, AI-powered business growth, and the future of digital societies.
Tallinn also hosted the HIPTHER Baltic & Nordics Gaming Awards 2026, celebrating excellence across operators, suppliers, technology providers, and industry leaders from the Baltic and Nordic regions.
Beyond Conferences: Building a Regional Community
Throughout all three events, participants benefited from curated networking opportunities and practical learning sessions through the HIPTHER Academy, HIPTHER’s educational platform focused on delivering hands-on skills, professional development, and industry certifications.
The combination of boutique-format events, high-level content, and meaningful networking once again demonstrated why the Baltics continue to attract increasing attention as a hub for innovation, regulation, and cross-border collaboration.
Looking Ahead – HIPTHER Baltics 2027
Reflecting on the success of the series, Zoltan Tündik, Co-Founder and Head of Business at HIPTHER, commented: “We are incredibly proud of what we achieved across the Baltics in 2026, but this is only the beginning. The success of the three-city series has provided us with valuable insights, feedback, and inspiration that we are already incorporating into the planning of HIPTHER Baltics 2027. The Baltics have a unique energy when it comes to business events, innovation, and networking, and we are excited to continue growing alongside this vibrant community. Our commitment remains the same: delivering meaningful conversations, practical learning opportunities, and exceptional networking experiences that bring together the region’s most influential stakeholders.”
