HIPTHER has unveiled the full agenda for HIPTHER Baltics: Riga 2026, set to take place on 11 May 2026 at the Grand Hotel Kempinski Riga.
The one-day conference will bring together regulators, operators, fintech specialists, legal experts and technology leaders to tackle the most pressing issues facing regulated markets across the Baltics and wider Europe.
As the second event in the HIPTHER Baltics 2026 series, the Riga edition builds on the momentum established in Vilnius while sharpening the focus on compliance, innovation and sustainable growth.
Compliance at the core
HIPTHER has structured the Riga agenda around a central industry reality: compliance is no longer simply a regulatory requirement, but a critical driver of long-term business success.
The conference will feature two dedicated content streams:
- Compliance & Operations Lab
- TechXperience Stage
Together, these stages will explore how businesses can remain competitive while managing regulatory complexity, technological disruption and evolving customer expectations.
Key topics on the agenda
The Riga programme will focus on practical, implementation-led discussions across the industry’s most important operational challenges.
- Baltic gaming law and regulatory outlook
- FinTech supervision, AI, risk and regulation
- Player protection and responsible gaming
- AML directives and data protection
- Cross-border licensing and regulatory harmonisation
- Fraud prevention and emerging technologies
- Marketing, affiliates and growth in regulated markets
- Payments, digital assets and fintech innovation
- The transition from SEO to AI-driven search optimisation
Four strategic pillars
HIPTHER has built the conference around four major themes shaping the future of regulated industries:
- Gaming Law & Player Protection – licensing, enforcement, fraud prevention and responsible gaming
- FinTech & Payments – supervision, digital assets and financial infrastructure
- AI & Compliance – automation, taxation, risk and operational workflows
- Growth & Visibility – affiliates, SEO, market intelligence and AI-era discoverability
A boutique industry gathering
HIPTHER Baltics continues to prioritise quality over scale, delivering a boutique conference environment designed for meaningful conversations and high-value networking.
Attendees can expect senior-level panel discussions, implementation-focused sessions, curated networking opportunities and an evening social programme, including a Golden Hour Mixer and networking event at Riga’s Skyline Bar.
Part of a wider Baltic strategy
HIPTHER Baltics 2026 spans three cities—Vilnius, Riga and Tallinn—each addressing regional market dynamics while contributing to broader discussions around regulation, technology and growth across Northern Europe.
“This agenda was built for companies that understand growth today depends on getting compliance, technology and player protection right at the same time. We’re bringing together decision-makers who want honest conversations, practical insights and partnerships that actually move business forward,” said Zoltán Tűndik, Co-Founder and Head of Business at HIPTHER.
