Attendees will gain direct access to the experts behind AWS cloud environments, Cloudflare\u2019s global connectivity and security infrastructure, Oracle\u2019s enterprise-grade cloud platforms, and other technologies that power mission-critical systems worldwide, offering insights into how leading providers address scalability, resilience, performance, and AI readiness at a global scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First of its kind,&nbsp;<strong>Tech Race Summit&nbsp;<\/strong>brings together practitioners from igaming, fintech, streaming, and other high-traffic industries on a single stage. Sessions will cover real-time event processing at scale, observability and monitoring, cloud-native architecture, cybersecurity frameworks, and applied AI integration \u2013 delivered by engineers who operate these systems in production, globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keynote speakers feature:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Georgios Chatzimilioudis, principal account cloud engineer at Oracle<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Viktor Vedmich, senior solutions architect at AWS<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sergey Kurson, tech lead betting and igaming technology at AWS<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Simone Ricci, senior manager, solutions engineering at Cloudflare<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>And more leaders from major technology companies<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Additional speakers will be announced in the coming months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why is this conversation happening now<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>igaming operators face a critical inflexion point. Latency challenges \u2013 identified as a bottleneck by 53 per cent of organisations in 2025, up from 32 per cent the previous year \u2013 directly threaten competitive advantage. Similarly, bandwidth constraints now affect 59 per cent of enterprises, up from 43 per cent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simultaneously, rapid AI integration creates compounding demands on infrastructure. AI infrastructure budgets are expected to triple by 2028, yet many legacy architectures were not designed with AI workloads in mind. The industry requires immediate access to proven approaches and decision-making frameworks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Viktor Vedmich<\/strong>, AWS igaming Tech Evangelist and one of the summit speakers, notices: \u201cMost companies today have AI experiments \u2013 few have an AI platform. The gap isn\u2019t technology; it\u2019s maturity: aligning people, processes, and use-case identification into a repeatable system. We\u2019ll discuss frameworks we\u2019ve applied across dozens of enterprises to help them move from scattered pilots to production-grade AI that compounds value over time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sergey Kastukievich<\/strong>, CTO at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/focusgn.com\/africa\/tech-race-why-ai-makes-systems-matter-more-than-software-according-to-softswiss\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/focusgn.com\/africa\/tech-race-why-ai-makes-systems-matter-more-than-software-according-to-softswiss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SOFTSWISS<\/a>, adds: \u201cWe were deliberate in bringing together experts from AWS, Oracle, Cloudflare, and other technology companies that are helping define the future of cloud infrastructure, AI adoption, and digital platforms. These organisations rarely share the same stage, yet the decisions they make today influence how businesses will build and operate technology tomorrow. Tech Race Summit is designed to give attendees direct access to those ideas, experiences, and future-looking perspectives.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tech Race Summit is built on a practical premise: the infrastructure challenges facing high-traffic platforms cannot be solved in isolation. The event creates a structured environment for&nbsp;<strong>cross-company knowledge transfer<\/strong>, giving attendees direct access to decision-making frameworks from engineers who have built and scaled systems at global load.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Early bird tickets available till June 30 on the Tech Race website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The summit will bring together specialists from igaming, fintech and streaming to discuss digital infrastructure, scalability and the adoption of artificial intelligence on high-traffic platforms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":176,"featured_media":27383,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"is_press_release":true,"is_interview":false,"is_opinion":false,"focusai_summary":"The SOFTSWISS Tech Race Summit 2026 will convene senior technology leaders from AWS, Oracle, and Cloudflare in Warsaw to address critical digital infrastructure challenges.
