Accreditation applications are open until\u00a0<strong>September<\/strong>\u00a01, giving accredited media free access to the full conference programme and networking areas, and the opportunity to request interviews with speakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tech Race Summit brings together engineers, CTOs, product and business leaders from igaming and the wider tech industry. More than&nbsp;<strong>40 speakers&nbsp;<\/strong>will take part from companies including AWS, Google, Oracle, Cloudflare, Gcore, SOFTSWISS, Evoplay, BGaming, EvenBet Gaming, and Hub88.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The programme gives journalists access to an event created specifically to bring together the engineers, technology leaders, and infrastructure specialists shaping the sector. Until now, there has been no comparable summit focused exclusively on the technology behind igaming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Three parallel tracks will cover AI adoption and AI engineering, cybersecurity, cloud infrastructure, high-load systems, entertainment and gamification, and technology leadership. Sessions range from a&nbsp;<strong>CTO panel on AI\u2019s impact on engineering<\/strong>&nbsp;and a cross-industry discussion on AI and cyber risk to talks on&nbsp;<strong>real-time gaming systems<\/strong>&nbsp;and infrastructure challenges faced by igaming operators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Accredited journalists will receive&nbsp;<strong>free access to all conference content and networking areas<\/strong>. They can also request interviews with speakers, subject to availability. A media kit with event information and photos will be provided to support coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The media accreditation programme also reflects a wider goal behind the Tech Race Summit. While igaming has established events focused on business development, regulation, and market growth, technology specialists have fewer dedicated spaces to discuss engineering challenges and exchange practical knowledge. At the conference, journalists can hear technical cases first-hand, develop expert contacts, and their reporting can then bring those ideas to igaming professionals who are not in the room and give technical topics a wider place in industry discussion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Sergey Kastukevich<\/strong>, chief technology officer at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/focusgn.com\/africa\/softswiss-brings-mexican-market-expertise-to-sigma-north-america-2026\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/focusgn.com\/africa\/softswiss-brings-mexican-market-expertise-to-sigma-north-america-2026\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SOFTSWISS<\/a>, comments: \u201cTech Race is about creating a space where people can speak openly about the technology behind igaming and learn from experience across industries. We want journalists to be part of that conversation, with direct access to the people and ideas behind it. Media partnerships help valuable technical knowledge travel beyond the event itself and bring more professionals into discussions about how the industry is being built.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">General in-person tickets for Tech Race Summit 2026 are already sold out.
