The partnership marks an important milestone for HIPTHER and strengthens the legal and regulatory dimension of its European conference portfolio, connecting its community directly with one of the global gaming sector’s most respected professional organisations for gaming law, regulation and education.
The new chapter will begin at the HIPTHER Warsaw Summit 2026, taking place on 27–28 October at the InterContinental Warsaw, where IMGL experts will contribute to the conference programme through speaker participation and a dedicated IMGL Masterclass.
From Long-Standing Collaboration to Official Partnership
While the partnership is now becoming official, the relationship between HIPTHER and IMGL reaches back many years.
IMGL members and leadership figures have contributed to HIPTHER’s conferences and predecessor events since the early years of the organisation’s event portfolio, bringing recognised legal, regulatory and policy expertise into discussions addressing the development of regulated gaming markets across Europe and internationally.
Over the years, IMGL Masterclasses have also become part of the wider HIPTHER conference journey, creating dedicated spaces for lawyers, regulators and industry stakeholders to examine complex regulatory developments and their practical implications for the gaming sector.
Formalising this relationship reflects both organisations’ shared commitment to high-level education, informed regulatory dialogue and meaningful exchange between the industry, legal community and regulators.
Bringing Global Gaming Law Expertise to the HIPTHER Community
The International Masters of Gaming Law is a global, nonprofit association bringing together more than 300 leading gaming attorneys, regulators, educators, executives, compliance professionals and industry experts.
Its members are recognised specialists in gaming law and regulation across jurisdictions worldwide, contributing to the development and understanding of some of the most important legal and regulatory issues facing the international gambling industry.
Education sits at the heart of IMGL’s mission. Alongside its international conferences, publications and professional development activities, the organisation delivers IMGL Masterclasses at leading gaming industry events around the world, bringing together experienced attorneys, regulators, executives and other specialists for substantive discussion of evolving legal and regulatory challenges.
Through this partnership, HIPTHER Events will provide an additional European platform for this expertise, while further strengthening the depth and international perspective of its own regulatory and compliance content.
Zoltan Tündik, Co-Founder & Head of Business at HIPTHER, commented:
“Formalizing our partnership with the IMGL is a natural evolution of a relationship that has driven high-level regulatory dialogue for well over 10 years. As the European gaming landscape faces unprecedented legal and compliance shifts, having the world's foremost gaming law experts embedded within the HIPTHER Summits ensures our community stays ahead of the curve”.
Cosmina Simion, Managing Partner of WHSimion & Partners and Executive Vice President of IMGL, stated about the partnership:
“IMGL members have long enjoyed their participation at Hipther events. Zoltan and his team organise some of the best events in the industry and we are delighted that this more formal association between our two organisations also brings recognition for IMGL. Our Masterclasses are valued by audiences at many leading industry events and it feels very natural that the portfolio will expand to take in Hipther's conferences. We look forward to the first iteration of our new partnership in Warsaw and remain committed to providing our members with the best possible plan as part of what is the home of the world's top gaming lawyers.”.
The Official Partnership Begins in Warsaw
The HIPTHER Warsaw Summit 2026 will bring together gaming operators, regulators, legal and compliance professionals, technology providers, fintech and payments leaders, and senior industry decision-makers for two days of strategic discussion and curated networking.
The participation of IMGL experts and the dedicated IMGL Masterclass will add another layer of international legal and regulatory expertise to that programme, creating a forum for examining the issues that increasingly determine how gaming businesses operate, expand and innovate across jurisdictions.
At the Warsaw Summit, the IMGL Masterclass will focus on prediction markets — a timely and increasingly relevant subject at the intersection of gaming, regulation, technology and evolving market models.
Further details on the Masterclass, including its speakers and key discussion points, will be announced soon.
