Tech Academies

Hands-on, expert-led training designed for real-world application.

Running alongside the main conference programme, the CPD-certified Tech Academies deliver hands-on, expert-led training focused on real-world application across AI, Digital Marketing & CRM, Web 3.0 and Player Experience. These sessions go beyond theory, bringing together the people actively building, launching and scaling products, campaigns and technologies across the industry. Expect practical, honest insights and strategies you can immediately apply to your business through a mix of interactive and educational formats, including case studies, how-to guides, AMAs, panel debates, live demonstrations, strategy workshops, and practical frameworks and toolkits designed for real-world application. Whether you work in iGaming, marketing, tech, fintech or are simply looking to better understand the technologies shaping the future, the academies are designed to give you the practical knowledge you’re after. Please note: All Tech Academy sessions contribute towards recognised CPD-certified learning hours, allowing attendees to combine professional development with practical industry insight.

What makes Tech Academies different

Unlike traditional conference sessions, the Tech Academies are designed as immersive learning experiences built around practical application rather than discussion alone. Across an afternoon, attendees move through a carefully structured programme of live demonstrations, case studies, expert Q&As, interactive workshops and hands-on exercises that build on one another. Instead of leaving with ideas to explore later, participants gain practical frameworks, real-world examples and tangible skills they can take back to their teams and start applying immediately.

Why send your team

Turn individual learning into organisational advantage:

Every Academy is tailored to a different business function. Send your product, marketing, CRM and technology teams to separate sessions and return with practical insights that can be shared across the organisation.

Accelerate innovation across every department:

Rather than relying on one person to relay information, equip the teams responsible for execution with the knowledge, tools and frameworks they need to drive change immediately.

Maximise your investment:

The Education+ Upgrade delivers far more than conference content. Through workshops, live demonstrations and practical exercises, attendees leave with skills they can put into practice from day one.

Stay ahead in an industry that doesn't stand still:

AI, marketing, gamification and Web3 are evolving rapidly. Investing in your team's expertise today helps your business stay competitive tomorrow.
