Mare Balticum Gaming & TECH Summit 2025 - A New Format for a New Era of Engagement

Mare Balticum 2025 Gets a Game-Changing Upgrade

Vilnius, Lithuania - 07.04.2025 – As the gaming and tech industries evolve at lightning speed, so must the events that unite these communities. That’s why the MARE BALTICUM Gaming & TECH Summit 2025, taking place in Vilnius on 27–28 May, is rolling out a bold new format designed to enhance engagement, personalise learning, and better reflect the fast-moving worlds of iGaming, fintech, blockchain, and artificial intelligence.

Now, in its latest and most forward-thinking edition, the summit is embracing a multi-room setup, dedicated content tracks, and hands-on workshops - turning the traditional conference format on its head. With an expected audience of up to 200 participants and a stellar lineup of 60 expert speakers, MARE BALTICUM 2025 promises to deliver its most focused and dynamic experience yet.

“We’re incredibly excited about the 2025 edition of MARE BALTICUM. After years of refining the summit experience, this year marks a bold evolution in content and how we engage our community.

The new two-room format and the introduction of HIPTHER Academy workshops are just the beginning. We’re also testing something completely new behind the scenes - a method we believe could redefine how conferences deliver value. If it works, it’s going to change everything.

Zoltán Tűndik, Co-Founder and Head of Business at HIPTHER”

A Two-Room Format for Maximum Relevance

To give attendees more control over their summit experience, the event will now feature two parallel content rooms, each focusing on a distinct area of industry expertise:

Key themes and discussion points include

• The future of AI and automation in iGaming and beyond
• Blockchain use cases extend past cryptocurrency, with real-world applications in identity, transparency, and decentralised infrastructure
• Fintech innovation, both within gaming environments and across broader digital ecosystems
• Web3 and decentralised platforms redefining ownership and engagement models
• Startups and investment trends shaping the next wave of disruptive tech
• Open systems and coopetition – how companies create shared ecosystems where competition and cooperation co-exist
• NuxGame’s open approach to affiliates and aggregators
• From AI hype back to people-first thinking – what have we learned after a year of over-automating? Who comes first: the tech or the humans behind and in front of the screen?
• Differentiation in product and business: Is iGaming at risk of becoming too generic? How do we protect uniqueness and deliver real value?

This format allows participants to deep-dive into topics that matter most to them, with the flexibility to explore emerging trends that stretch beyond their immediate niche. Whether you're a tech entrepreneur, product lead, investor, or just curious about where innovation is headed, Room 2 is built for forward thinkers ready to engage, question, and shape the future.

A “Secret Method” in Testing - And It Might Change Everything

In addition to the new room structure, MARE BALTICUM 2025 will quietly test an experimental format innovation—a "secret method" designed to enhance audience engagement and retention during panel sessions.

While details remain under wraps, early previews suggest this approach could dramatically reshape participants' interactions with speakers and content.

If successful, this methodology may be adapted across all future HIPTHER conferences, further solidifying the summit’s role as an innovation lab for the events industry.

Introducing HIPTHER Academy Workshops

Building on the success of the HIPTHER Academy initiative, the 2025 summit will also host up to four intensive workshops designed to provide:

• Hands-on learning experiences
• Skill development sessions
• Deep knowledge transfer from seasoned experts

Participants in the workshops will receive digital diplomas acknowledging their completion—ideal for adding to LinkedIn profiles, CVs, and professional development portfolios.

These sessions will be open to all attendees, but pre-registration may be required due to limited space.

Workshop topics include:

• Data Protection and Cybersecurity in iGaming
• Building regulatory strategies for new markets
• Creating future-ready iGaming products
• UX/UI optimisation for player engagement

This practical layer of the summit reflects HIPTHER’s growing commitment to education and lifelong learning within the tech and gaming sectors.
