Ace Alliance Riga 2026

Ace Alliance Riga 2026 is for iGaming affiliates, operators, founders, C-level executives, business development teams, B2B solution providers, and payment specialists who want high-quality, decision-maker access without the noise of a large-scale trade show. Based on past editions, 36% of attendees hold C-level titles, with affiliates making up 37% of the room, operators 20%, and B2B and payment solution providers accounting for most of the remainder.

iGaming, online casino, sports betting, affiliate marketing, payments, gambling technology, and crypto-adjacent iGaming services.

• Payments innovation and crypto integration in iGaming platforms
• Affiliate acquisition, monetisation strategies, and SEO in regulated markets
• Speed networking formats designed to generate maximum introductions in minimum time

Most iGaming conferences make you earn your conversations. You compete for 30-minute meeting slots, navigate crowded exhibition floors, and spend half the day in panels that don’t apply to your vertical. Ace Alliance Riga is structured around the opposite philosophy: no exhibition floor to get lost in, no back-to-back schedule keeping you from talking to the right people. The entire two-day programme is built around shared experiences that create the conditions for real business conversations.

The 2026 agenda reflects that directly. Day one moves through Riga’s Old Town on a guided city tour, a private networking cruise on the Daugava River, a C-suite-only dinner hosted by fam. at the Grand Hotel Kempinski rooftop, and an EvenBet Gaming poker night at the Olympic Voodoo Casino. Day two brings 700+ delegates into the Small Guild, a 14th-century Hanseatic merchant hall, for a Michelin-level networking lunch, closed-door iGaming keynotes, structured speed networking, and a curated art exhibition before the event closes with the Ace Alliance party at Coyote Fly.

The speaker lineup gives some indication of who is in the room: Alexandre Tomic (founder of Alea and Vegas Legends), Valentina Bagniya (CMO at SOFTSWISS), Dmitry Belianin (co-founder of Blask), Dmitry Arabuli (CEO at Tonybet), and Kamila Łuksza-Szpyt (Managing Director at Voluum), among others. That is an unusually high concentration of founders and senior operators for an event with under 800 attendees.

Riga itself is a practical and affordable hub for European iGaming professionals, with direct connections from most major cities and significantly lower costs than Amsterdam, London, or Malta. The 2025 edition sold out. For iGaming professionals who have done the big trade shows and want something that consistently produces partnerships rather than badge scans, Ace Alliance in August is a clear choice.
