The 2025 edition of the Prague Gaming & Tech Summit, organized by Hipther, has officially raised the bar for what an industry conference can be. Hosted in the heart of Europe’s most romantic city, this year’s event delivered more than keynotes and coffee – it created a transformative space for the gaming and tech ecosystem to evolve together, with purpose, wellness, and bold inclusion at its core.
🎯 Not Just Another Summit — A Bold Statement for the Future of iGaming & Tech
In an industry often driven by fast-paced innovation and high-stakes competition, Prague Gaming & Tech Summit 2025 stood out by asking: How do we grow responsibly? How do we innovate without losing our humanity?
Held over two content-packed days, this year’s summit welcomed regulators, legal experts, C-level executives, developers, creatives, compliance officers, and thought leaders from across Europe and beyond. But it was more than business, it was intentional transformation.
🌟 Hipther Academy: Elevating Minds from the Inside Out
For the first time, Hipther Academy launched exclusive workshops embedded within the summit experience. Curated for professionals eager to go deeper, these closed-door sessions focused on leadership psychology, business ethics, sustainability in product development, and market disruption strategies.
Far from the usual sales pitches or high-level overviews, the Academy offered hands-on, honest conversations on what it takes to build resilient teams and products in a world where user demands, regulations, and social responsibility intersect like never before.
🧘♀️ 🏃♂️ Wellness in Focus: Yoga, Running, and the Power of Pause
Forget the old model of conferences with back-to-back sessions and zero room to breathe. Hipther challenged that by weaving intentional wellness experiences directly into the event schedule:
-
Morning Yoga Sessions offered a physical and mental reset before the panels began, helping attendees arrive focused and grounded.
-
The Day 2 Running Meetup provided a unique way to connect, pairing movement with networking in the fresh morning air along Prague’s riverbanks.
-
On-site massage therapy offered attendees a moment of release and recharge between meetings.
These weren’t side activities, they were part of the event’s architecture. And the impact was clear: sharper focus, better conversations, and attendees who stayed energized from start to finish.
🌱 A Plant-Based Summit with Purpose
This year, food served at the Conference was 100% plant-based, reinforcing Hipther’s commitment to health, sustainability, and inclusivity. Far from just a menu choice, the decision reflects a broader ethos: building an industry that nourishes people and the planet.
In a space where long hours and high pressure are often normalized, offering clean, energy-rich meals helped shift the tone from burnout to balance.
🏆 Prague Gaming TECH Awards 2025: Celebrating the Trailblazers
The Summit culminated in the Prague Gaming TECH Awards 2025, honoring the companies and individuals who are truly pushing the boundaries of the gaming, tech, and fintech sectors.
Winners were celebrated not just for growth, but for innovation, integrity, and impact—highlighting the kind of leadership the industry needs in 2025 and beyond.
🌐 Key Highlights from the Industry-Focused Agenda
The panels this year didn’t hold back. With topics ranging from AI in gaming regulation to sustainable affiliate marketing, diversity in leadership, and navigating hybrid business models, the content reflected both urgency and hope.
Sessions and panels tackled critical themes like:
-
The rising demand for regulatory clarity across the EU
-
The future of Web3 and blockchain compliance
-
Mental health in remote work cultures
-
The role of women and LGBTQ+ leaders in reshaping iGaming narratives
These conversations weren’t performative, they were deep, data-driven, and delivered with honesty.
Why Inclusion & Wellness Matter in Gaming & Tech
Gaming and tech are powerful industries—capable of driving cultural change as much as economic growth. But that power comes with responsibility. This year’s summit didn’t just acknowledge that—it embodied it.
By integrating:
-
Plant-based nutrition
-
Daily wellness sessions
-
Inclusive panel curation
-
Hands-on leadership workshops
…Hipther built a space where the industry could ask not just what we’re building, but why and how we’re building it.
Inclusion isn’t just a checkbox – it’s a business imperative. Wellness isn’t a luxury – it’s a performance enhancer. When people feel safe, seen, and supported, innovation follows.
🛫 What’s Next?
As attendees packed up their notebooks, new partnerships, and fresh ideas, one thing was clear: Prague Gaming & Tech Summit 2025 wasn’t just a conference. It was a movement toward an industry that performs better because it cares more.
Whether you were on stage, in the crowd, in sneakers for the run, or barefoot on a yoga mat, you were part of something bigger: the reimagining of what it means to gather as an industry.
We’ll see you next at the Mare Balticum Gaming Summit in Vilnius this May, where the journey continues—with more wellness, more impact, and more purpose.
