Four gaming summits to converge in Vienna in December 2026

The event will run on December 3–4, 2026, and will combine the 3rd Annual iGaming DACH Summit and the 3rd Annual Lottery CX Summit with two new launches: the Social & Competitive Gaming Summit and the Racing & Wagering World Summit.

Taken together, the format says something about where the sector is heading. These markets still operate in their own lanes, but the overlap is growing – in regulation, technology, product design, and user behavior. Running the four events side by side turns the Vienna gathering into a broader meeting point rather than a set of isolated conference rooms.

Johann G. Sigurdsson, CCO of Bwloto, will return as Chairperson of the Lottery CX Summit 2026, with Bwloto as the event’s Strategic Partner. He said:

It is a great pleasure to return as Chairperson for the third edition of the Lottery CX Summit. It is truly remarkable to see how the event has gone from strength to strength since its inception. This year, we look forward to even greater innovation, a broader audience, and participation from an expanding range of jurisdictions.

Robert Lenzhofer, CEO of Hölle Games, will once again be back as Strategic Partner for the iGaming DACH Summit 2026, on which he commented: 

As a Strategic Partner, we’re proud to support the iGaming DACH Summit 2026 as it continues to provide a focused platform for the region. The regulatory environment across the DACH markets remains complex, with Germany’s State Treaty still being refined in practice and Austria maintaining a closely controlled structure. In this context, it’s essential for stakeholders to stay informed and connected. The summit plays an important role in facilitating this across Austria, Germany, and Switzerland, and I’m looking forward to this year’s discussions.

Eventus International founder and CEO Yudi Soetjiptadi said the iGaming DACH Summit shared his thoughts on how the partnership has developed: 

What started as a simple conversation and a visionary suggestion from our Strategic Partner, Robert Lenzhofer, has in just two years grown into something truly exceptional. The iGaming DACH Summit has evolved into one of Vienna’s most dynamic and exciting industry gatherings, gaining strength with every edition alongside our valued participants, speakers, and sponsors. It’s inspiring to see this vision come to life, and we look forward to what lies ahead.

According to the organizer, the combined events will focus on regulatory developments, market growth strategies, technology, and player engagement. More broadly, the Vienna setup reflects a simple reality: the lines between gaming verticals are not as rigid as they once were, and the most useful industry conversations increasingly happen where those categories meet.

Eventus International is currently inviting speakers and sponsors to take part in the December program. More information is available through the organizer’s website.
