Central and Eastern Europe region’s leading gaming and tech conference has been given a makeover and will return to Budapest, Hungary, in September

Hipther is getting set to launch its hugely popular GamingTECH CEE Summit this September after a rebrand – with the promise of ‘everything the iGaming industry needs’ on offer.

Formerly known as CEEGC, the seventh edition of Hipther’s GamingTECH CEE will return from 26 – 27 September, in Budapest, Hungary, at the five-star hotel, The Ritz-Carlton, with the UNESCO World Heritage Buda Castle nearby.

The prestigious conference will bring together gaming industry thought leaders, from the likes of Trueplay, Melcher’s Law, Bird & Bird, Mindway.AI, Oddin.gg, BETER, VIXIO Regulatory Intelligence and the Princeton Public Affairs Group, for a chance to learn about latest trends and news from the sector, as well as offering networking opportunities.

Over the two-day event, speakers will cover the hottest topics in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), including updates from the Nordics & the DACH region, compliance in Eastern Europe and the Balkans, the super-hot intersection of the gambling industry with Web3/Blockchain/XR/VR/AR and Fintech, cross-industry opportunities, eSports, Marketing and AI.

In addition, the event added an extra day for panels and unforgettable networking opportunities, including a morning 5KM run around Budapest’s historic streets, a boat cruise and lunch on the Danube.

On the second night of the event, 26th September, Hipther will also host a sparkling event at the GamingTech Awards 2023, celebrating the vast achievements of operators and suppliers across the CEE region. With 13 categories, the final winners of each shortlist category will be announced after a voting session ahead of the conference.

This year, Hipther has introduced a new customised stand offering, ExhibiMeet, promising ‘the ultimate boutique exhibition solution’. The packages offer a ready-made sustainable exhibiting option, that is customisable, hassle-free, and focuses on fostering deeper business relationships.

Commenting on the GamingTECH CEE Summit, Zoltan Tuendik, Founder and Head of Business and Events at Hipther said: “We’re hugely excited to return with the seventh edition of our newly-rebranded GamingTECH CEE Summit this year.

“The Budapest event will see dozens of industry experts share their insights and discuss the hot topics of the industry, including AI, Fintech and eSports. We can’t wait to welcome everyone back on 26th September and catch up on the achievements of our industry friends and colleges at the GamingTECH Awards too.”
