four TECH ACADEMIES
EVERY SKILL YOU NEED TO

STAY AHEAD.

The Tech Academies

NOT THEORY. THE ACTUAL PLAYBOOK

Four half-day deep dives, each built around a different part of the industry’s future. Spend a day here, save months figuring it out on your own.

From the power of brand to the latest technology in customer acquisition, the Marketing Academy delivers a multichannel crash course in engaging and retaining customers, so your organisation’s reach is turbocharged across Europe and beyond.

BUILt FOR

Founders and early-stage entrepreneurs building betting and iGaming businesses, and the investors looking to back them.

PAYMENTS & BLOCKCHAIN ACADEMY

What actually pays off.

Web3, crypto, blockchain. Without a clear roadmap, these are just buzzwords. This Academy gives you the step-by-step playbook you need to power your organisation with next-generation tech.

BUILT FOR

Payments, fintech and tech leads at operators and suppliers exploring how emerging technology fits into their business.

THE FORMAT

HOW A TECH ACADEMY WORKS

Half a day, four formats, one goal: leaving with something you can actually use. Here’s how each Academy runs.

Not your average session

Each Academy runs as a mix of formats, live demonstrations, ask-me-anything sessions, case studies and hands-on workshops, so you're seeing the tech in action and working through it yourself, not just watching someone talk about it.

Led by people building it

Every session is run by practitioners, not theorists. The trainers in the room are the people actively building, launching and scaling this technology inside the industry right now, so every answer comes from experience.

A full picture in half a day

Structured across a single half-day, each Academy takes you through a series of connected sessions, moving from the fundamentals to real, practical application, so by the end you leave with the full picture.

Small groups

Seats are limited by design. That means more time with trainers, more chance to ask the question that's actually relevant to you, and a level of access you won't get in a packed conference hall.
