Since its launch in 2018, the MARE BALTICUM GAMING & TECH SUMMIT has grown into one of the Baltic region’s most respected gatherings for professionals in gaming, technology, and regulatory affairs. Hosted across Riga, Vilnius, and Tallinn, it became a trusted platform for in-depth dialogue, cross-border collaboration, and community building.

Over the years, the summit introduced key features like the TECH Meetup Baltics and the BSG Awards, expanded its focus across industries, and cemented its reputation as a forward-thinking event uniting diverse voices from across the region.

In May 2025, the final edition of the summit in its rotating format took place in Vilnius, drawing record participation and delivering what many called the strongest program in the series’ history. With dynamic panels, high-level networking, and an electric energy throughout the venue, MARE BALTICUM 2025 was a fitting finale—a celebration of the summit’s seven-year impact.

What’s Next: HIPTHER Baltics (Launching 2026)

With the close of the summit’s rotating format, we are proud to announce the launch of a new chapter: HIPTHER Baltics, beginning in 2026.

HIPTHER Baltics will consist of three city-based meetups each year—in Tallinn, Riga, and Vilnius—designed to maintain the summit’s legacy while bringing conversations even closer to local markets. These curated events will focus on region-specific insights, regulatory updates, tech innovation, and stakeholder networking, all while maintaining HIPTHER’s commitment to quality content and community-driven engagement.

Each meetup will have its own unique agenda, but all will reflect the shared mission of amplifying the Baltic region’s role in Europe’s digital and gaming future.

Honoring the Past, Building the Future

While the MARE BALTICUM GAMING & TECH SUMMIT has come to a close as a single annual event, its influence will carry forward through HIPTHER Baltics—a format that reflects the evolving needs of the industry and the vibrant potential of the region.

We thank everyone who contributed to the legacy of MARE BALTICUM—and we invite you to join us as the journey continues in a new form.
