AI in iGaming Summit

The AI in iGaming Summit is a new conference organised by Eventus International, the company behind the SPiCE series and several regional gambling summits. Its first edition is scheduled for 3 and 4 December 2026 in Vienna. The official page names the city but not a venue. Two other Eventus events, the iGaming DACH Summit and the Lottery CX Summit, are listed in Vienna on the same dates. The summit is aimed at operators, regulators, compliance staff and technology suppliers rather than at marketers. The organiser frames the agenda around AI moving from pilot projects into everyday use in gambling businesses, and the governance questions that follow. Named themes include the EU AI Act, the rise of fraud carried out with AI tools, how operators show regulators that automated systems are supervised, where companies should invest next, and how to scale AI without weakening compliance or player protection. The format combines a conference with an expo. Registration opens at 10:00 on the first day, and sessions run from 10:30 to 16:00 on Thursday and from 10:30 to 17:00 on Friday. A welcome evening follows the first day and farewell drinks close the second. The full session list was not yet public when we checked, but nine speakers have been announced. Jochen Biewer of Chevron Group chairs the event. Other names include Andreas Ditsche of iGaming.com Group, Christian Heins of Tipwin, Petru Muresan of Greentube, Michael Auer of Neccton, Mikhail Lipkovich of MICo, lawyer Thomas Seeber, Gabriele Pauliukaite of Baltic BA, and Christian Piska of the University of Vienna. There are three passes. A one-day Standard pass for 4 December costs €595. A two-day Premium pass costs €995 and covers both days, including lunches and the first evening's drinks. A Supplier pass at €1,495 covers both days and includes one branding option, such as a small exhibitor table or a full-page brochure advert. For affiliates the relevance is indirect. The programme concentrates on operator compliance, fraud and regulation in Europe rather than acquisition or marketing. It is of most use to affiliates who want to understand how their operator partners are applying AI to risk and responsible gambling checks.
