SOFTSWISS Tech Race Summit Draws 1,500 iGaming and Big Tech Professionals to Warsaw

The Tech Race Summit 2026, organized by SOFTSWISS, brought together around 1,500 technology and iGaming professionals in Warsaw on September 10. The sold-out debut event focused on scaling, security, and AI challenges shared across high-load industries, as reported by Focus Gaming News.

It featured representatives from more than 25 iGaming companies, more than 40 speakers, and 17 partners. Sessions ran across three stages: Vision, Solution, and Experiment. The program connected strategic technology questions with tested cases from both global tech firms and iGaming operators.

Insights from Tesla, Shazam, and iGaming CTOs

Javier Verdura, global director of product design at Tesla, presented on building high-performance teams with stronger ownership and accountability. Dhiraj Mukherjee, co-founder of Shazam, examined leadership through major technology shifts in a session titled “From Shazam to Generative AI: Why the Biggest Technology Shifts Always Look Impossible.”

Igor Borzunov, CTO at Maincard, detailed an autonomous AI operations agent that reduced incident reaction time from 3 a.m. pages to 30 seconds. Alexander Krivetsky, CTO at BGaming, covered the development of an AI-powered fraud detection system that moved from initial idea to production in just 3 months, including data preparation, model training, and integration.

Experts from AWS, Oracle, Cloudflare, Google, Gcore, Fastly, ScyllaDB, Coralogix, and similar firms addressed production AI, infrastructure, cybersecurity, observability, performance marketing, and real-time systems. Discussions extended beyond stages as operators, engineers, and partners compared approaches to shared challenges.

SOFTSWISS AI Processes and Plans for 2027

SOFTSWISS demonstrated its internal application of AI in software development. Illia Slepau, software architect at SOFTSWISS, outlined an internal Orchestrator that coordinates AI agents across the SDLC while preserving human validation and approval for code quality.

Sergey Kastsukevich, CTO at SOFTSWISS, commented: “We are grateful to every partner, speaker, and attendee who helped make Tech Race Summit happen. What was especially rewarding was seeing how many conversations continued between the sessions – people were meeting, exchanging experiences, discussing ideas, and finding common ground. This is exactly what we wanted Tech Race to create. I hope those connections prove valuable long after the event itself, and I look forward to welcoming everyone back to Warsaw next year.”

The summit, created to elevate technology topics in an iGaming calendar often centered on commercial growth and regulation, will return to Warsaw in 2027. Early-bird tickets and speaker applications are now open.
