SPARK 2026 will bring together leaders from across the gaming industry at Hotel Marinela Sofia in Sofia, Bulgaria, for a two-day event focused on business growth, regulatory challenges and emerging technology. Standing for Software, Payments, Affiliates, Revenue Kickoff, SPARK aims to connect operators, affiliates, regulatory experts, payment specialists and technology innovators from across the sector.
The event will provide a platform for industry professionals to discuss how businesses can adapt to changing compliance requirements, evolving player behaviour and intensifying market competition.
Two Days Focused on Practical Growth Strategies
The SPARK 2026 programme will feature keynotes, roundtables and interactive discussions designed to address the commercial and operational challenges facing gaming businesses. A central theme will be how companies can pursue growth across multiple jurisdictions while maintaining effective compliance processes and a positive user experience.
Sessions will also explore player retention strategies, emerging licensing opportunities and the growing role of artificial intelligence in customer intelligence and fraud prevention.
By bringing these topics together, SPARK will focus on practical approaches that businesses can apply as regulatory expectations, customer needs and technology continue to evolve.
