HIPTHER Warsaw Summit 2026: Where IGaming, Compliance and Tech Move Forward
On 27–28 October, HIPTHER brings decision-makers, regulators and innovators to Warsaw for two focused days of high-level intelligence, cross-industry dialogue, practical learning and curated networking — without the noise of the mega-show circuit. Warsaw, Poland – 31 August 2026 – As regulated digital industries face accelerating change across technology, regulation and consumer expectations, HIPTHER Warsaw Summit 2026 returns to the InterContinental Warsaw by IHG on 27–28 October, bringing together the people navigating that change in practice. From Regulation to AI: One Agenda for an Increasingly Connected Business World The evolving HIPTHER Warsaw Summit 2026 agenda will tackle the forces reshaping regulated digital industries across Europe, from gambling regulation, compliance and market development to Responsible Gambling, AML, fraud prevention, digital identity and eIDAS 2.0. With Poland as the meeting point for a wider European conversation, the programme will examine how regulators, operators, legal experts and technology providers can respond to rising compliance expectations while supporting sustainable growth, stronger player protection and more resilient business models. The discussion will extend across Fintech, banking and payments, AI, cybersecurity, infrastructure, marketing, SEO and AI-powered discoverability, business development and leadership — reflecting how quickly these areas are converging in practice. From responsible AI implementation and operational resilience to frictionless payments, secure digital identity and the future of visibility in AI-driven search, HIPTHER Warsaw will bring the people building, regulating and operating these systems into the same room to explore not only what is changing, but what businesses should do next. Not Another Mega-Show. A Room Where You Can Actually Meet. HIPTHER Warsaw is deliberately designed differently. In an event calendar increasingly dominated by massive exhibition floors, packed schedules and a race for attention, HIPTHER’s boutique conference format prioritises access over scale and relevance over volume. HIPTHER Warsaw Summit creates an environment where attendees can participate in the conversations on stage, meet speakers and fellow decision-makers directly, continue discussions during networking breaks and lunches, and build relationships throughout the two-day experience. For companies and professionals increasingly evaluating the return on every event they attend, the proposition is simple: less conference logistics, more conference value. Zoltan Tündik, Co-Founder & Head of Business at HIPTHER, commented: “In an event landscape increasingly dominated by overwhelming mega-shows, HIPTHER Warsaw Summit is intentionally built around focus, access, and value. As technology, compliance, and market demands converge faster than ever, our goal is to bring the right leaders into the same room, not just to discuss what’s changing across Europe, but to leave with clear, actionable strategies for what to do next. From AI implementation and eIDAS 2.0 to responsible gambling and payments, this year’s agenda brings regulators, operators, and tech pioneers together for direct, high-level dialogue and practical learning that extends far beyond the stage.” Learning That Continues Beyond the Panel Alongside the main conference programme, HIPTHER Academy adds a practical learning layer to the Summit through expert-led workshops designed to transform industry knowledge into professional capability. This combination of strategic conference content and applied learning reflects a wider HIPTHER principle: professionals should leave an event not only knowing what is changing, but understanding what they can do about it. Business Happens Between the Sessions, Too Networking is not treated as an add-on to the HIPTHER Warsaw experience. Morning wellness activities and networking, structured breaks, networking lunches, and evening gatherings are intentionally integrated into the programme, giving attendees repeated opportunities to connect without having to constantly choose between content and conversation. The Summit experience will also include the European iGaming Excellence Awards (EiGE Awards 2026), bringing the industry together to recognise excellence across European iGaming as part of HIPTHER Warsaw’s wider community experience. Warsaw: Two Days to Understand What Comes Next Connecting the iGaming market from Poland to Europe and beyond, the Summit will unite operators, regulators, suppliers, legal and compliance experts, technology providers, fintech and payments professionals, AI specialists, cybersecurity leaders, marketers, founders and senior decision-makers for two days built around one central purpose: turning the industry’s biggest questions into meaningful conversations with the people capable of answering them.

Dell Rises 9% As Record AI Server Order Boosts 2027 Forecast
Dell Technologies stock surged about 9% in Wednesday pre-market trading after the company reported a record haul of AI server orders and raised its outlook for the rest of fiscal 2027. The move will interest investors still debating if AI hardware demand can continue to grow. On the NYSE, the shares transacted at 9.25% more at a price of $463.62, recovering from a 6.80% drop the day before. The profit recorded by Dell in the second quarter hit $4.133 billion, up 255% from $1.164 billion a year earlier, with earnings per share of $6.34 against $1.70. The company earned $7.04 per share on an adjusted basis, equal to $4.591 billion, compared with $2.32 a share in Q2 2025. Revenue rose 57.7% year over year to $46.971 billion. Dell’s Infrastructure Solutions Group reported revenue of $31.78 billion, representing an 89% annual increase. The company’s AI-Optimized server business also delivered strong growth, with revenue doubling to $16.401 billion as demand for AI infrastructure continued to accelerate. Dell reports rise in second quarter earnings Traditional servers and networking grew 122%, and storage rose by 26%. The consumer-facing Client Solutions unit, tasked with selling PCs and laptops, added 20% to reach $15.03 billion. Dell said its AI server unit got about $60.9 billion in orders during the quarter, and converted $16.4 billion of this amount into recognized revenue. The unit closed the period sitting on a $95 billion backlog, representing a record for the business. CFO David Kennedy credited the company’s quarterly results to the company raising its targets. “Our advantages reinforce one another, and throughout the quarter we used these strengths to drive growth, share gains, profitability and cash generation,” Kennedy said in the earnings release. For the current third quarter, Dell guided to earnings per share of $6.10, a 168% year-over-year increase, with adjusted EPS of $6.50 and revenue of about $49.0 billion, up 81%. The outlook for the entire year saw a sharper revision, with fiscal 2027 earnings per share now projected at $24.37, representing a 181% increase and being well over the previous estimate of $17.31. Adjusted EPS was raised to $25.50 from $17.90, and full-year revenue guidance surged to $192.0 billion from $167 billion, representing a 69% annual gain. Dell now expects $74 billion in revenue for the year from AI-Optimized Servers, up from a prior $60.0 billion and representing growth of 200%. Separately, Dell’s board declared a quarterly dividend of $0.63 per share, with the payment scheduled for October 30 to shareholders on record as of October 20. The results hit a market that has continued to question AI infrastructure expenditure, while wondering if it has reached a peak level. The documented backlog worth tens of billions in addition to a doubled server segment and a raised annual target gives the market bulls a concrete data point to work with instead of abstract forecasts. Investors will now anticipate the third-quarter results from the company, which are due later in the fiscal year, to see if the $95 billion backlog will convert into revenue at the pace Dell is now looking at.
