iGaming Studio Summit 2025 to Explore Game Innovation in Riga

The iGaming Studio Summit 2025 is set to debut in Riga, Latvia, on August 6–7 at the Radisson Blu Hotel & Spa Daugava. Organized by Eventus International, this groundbreaking summit will gather studio leaders and innovators to address the evolving landscape of game development.

The event targets professionals aiming to gain a competitive edge through creative design, cutting edge technologies, and smart business strategies. From well established industry players to fast rising studios, the iGaming Studio Summit will focus on creating games that not only entertain but also perform better across metrics.

Sessions will dive into urgent topics such as talent acquisition and retention, building next gen experiences using VR, AR, and multiplayer functions, and practical steps to comply with the new EU AI Act. Participants will also learn how to grow responsibly by balancing business expansion with player trust and global regulatory expectations.

One of the headline speakers, Dainis Niedra, COO of Entain, will offer actionable insight on gamification, behavioral data, and responsible gambling. He emphasizes that business growth and player protection can and must coexist. According to Niedra, “Professionally designed gamification boosts engagement, especially in the low and mid value player segments.”

He also urges the industry to look into underutilized behavioral data, such as unclaimed bonuses or games browsed but never played, to improve retention. “Yes, this work is complex,” he says, “but it opens a new layer of value in retention marketing.”

Niedra advises simplicity and personalization over complexity in immersive game design. “Build ecosystems that are vibrant but never overwhelming,” he adds. On predictive analytics, he stresses that impact starts with daily data refinement and lifecycle communication.

The summit will bring together studio heads, product managers, game designers, marketers, and seasoned experts from around the globe. Countries represented include: North America, Europe, Asia, Australia, Latin America, Africa
