5 October 2026, 16:55 Bulgaria

Taking place on 25–26 November at Sofia’s Inter Expo Center, the summit will bring gaming industry professionals together for two days of debate, knowledge sharing and business networking.

The Eastern European Gaming Summit (EEGS) has announced its programme for 2026. Taking place on 25–26 November at Inter Expo Center in Sofia, Bulgaria, the event will put artificial intelligence, Web3, crypto casinos and Europe’s evolving regulatory environment at the centre of the discussion.

EEGS is an annual professional conference dedicated to regulatory and technological developments in the gaming and entertainment industry. An initiative of the Association of the Gaming Industry in Bulgaria (AGIB), it provides a forum for sharing expertise and developing business relationships. The summit was launched in 2008, alongside the Balkan Entertainment and Gaming Expo (BEGE), on the association’s initiative.

The 2026 programme addresses questions with direct implications for business development. What lies ahead for Web3 and crypto casinos? How will artificial intelligence reshape the competitive position of global brands? The announced debates will bring different professional perspectives to these issues.

Regulatory discussions will focus on the impact of the EU AI Act and emerging marketing restrictions across Europe. By placing these topics alongside technological developments, the programme connects the opportunities available to gaming businesses with the requirements shaping how they operate.

AI and blockchain applications in fraud prevention and player safety will also feature among the technology topics. These discussions will place security alongside innovation in the conversation about the industry’s development.

The two-day event will also offer opportunities for professional meetings and new partnerships. For attendees, EEGS 2026 provides a setting in which regulation, technology and business strategy can be considered together, supported by direct exchanges with industry peers.

The full programme and speaker lineup are available on the official EEGS 2026 programme page.
