SOFTSWISS has brought together over 1,500 employees from around the world to delve into the forefront trends in the iGaming industry. The professional conference became a part of the extensive SOFTSWISS Values Fest, which took place in Türkiye, and was aimed to promote knowledge sharing and skill development.

SOFTSWISS, an international technology company specialising in innovative solutions for the iGaming business, has offices in 4 European countries and a workforce spanning more than 40 countries worldwide. Such events offer a unique opportunity for employees to engage in face-to-face discussions, exchanging experiences and knowledge, thereby broadening their insights into the industry. Professionals with diverse international experience and backgrounds explored the hottest trends in iGaming, covering technical advancements, customer service, marketing strategies,  cross-product integrations, and many more. 

Every employee had the opportunity to present their expertise and insights on two big stages: technical and general education

Technical presentations covered a wide range of topics such as information security, software development, machine learning, cross-product integrations, and system analysis. Meanwhile, the general conference block focused on soft and hard skills development, including discussions on generative AI’s untapped potential, skills for collective success, UX research for product improvement, creating content on LinkedIn, and time management.

By providing a platform for knowledge exchange, SOFTSWISS showcased its commitment to enhancing the expertise and professionalism of its employees. This dedication ultimately contributes to the success of the company’s clients’ businesses.

To ensure a seamless experience, the company organised the event without disrupting work responsibilities. The various SOFTSWISS teams set up a work zone where each employee could promptly respond to requests, complete their tasks, and communicate with clients while still participating in the company event program.

Valentina Bagniya, Chief Marketing Officer at SOFTSWISS, expressed her thoughts: “Our company employs over 1,500 people worldwide, representing different cultures, nationalities, and professional backgrounds, all of which they bring to their work. We are united not only by our shared professional goals but also by the values we extensively discussed during our gathering in Türkiye. Each value holds significant meaning and serves as the foundation for our teams. The SOFTSWISS Values Fest allowed us to showcase their knowledge, share their experiences and expertise, and introduce their colleagues to the internal aspects of their work. This exchange is a vital component of our work, and we are thrilled that we could bring our employees together for this purpose.”

The focus of the company event, known as the SOFTSWISS Values Fest, centred around the company’s five core values: We care, We see people, We embrace changes, We push for customer success, We excel. Besides the educational program, the festival also featured team-building activities and workshops where employees could exhibit their talents.

Next week, the SOFTSWISS Team will be presenting their revolutionary products at SiGMA Europe 2023 in Malta from 14 November 14 to 16 November. Experts will be on hand to showcase the innovative offerings within the SOFTSWISS software ecosystem.

Esports Charts, the leading esports viewership analytics provider, has partnered with StarLadder, a pioneering tournament organiser. The Budapest Major 2025 marks a highly anticipated comeback for StarLadder, as it is their first Counter-Strike Major since 2019 and a significant return to the top-tier esports arena.

As the official analytics partner of the StarLadder Budapest Major 2025, Esports Charts will provide comprehensive, real-time audience data and insights throughout the event. This will empower organisers, teams, sponsors and fans with unparalleled transparency and a deeper understanding of the tournament’s global reach.

Artyom Odintsov, Co-founder and CEO of Esports Charts, said: “We are thrilled and proud to provide viewership analytics for StarLadder for the Budapest Major 2025. Since both Esports Charts and StarLadder are Ukraine-born companies, we share similar values and deal with similar challenges, which brings us even closer.

“It’s genuinely exciting to follow how viewership will develop at this Major. But knowing the expertise, drive, and passion that the organizers are bringing, I have no doubt we’ll witness some incredible things happen in Budapest.

“Esports Charts has always been driven by a mission to provide the esports community with accurate, actionable data, and we look forward to showcasing the impact and audience engagement of this world-class event.”

StarLadder has been a driving force in global esports for almost 15 years now, since hosting its first tournaments in 2011. Renowned for its innovation and reliability, the company has organised some of the industry’s most iconic events. These include the StarLadder Berlin Major 2019, which accumulated over 44 million hours watched and remains in the top 10 CS events by this metric, and the legendary StarSeries tournaments which started back in 2012.

Viacheslav Shcherbakov, Sales and Partnerships at StarLadder, said: “We’ve been working with Esports Charts since their founding and have always valued their professionalism and integrity. In a market where reliable data is essential, Esports Charts provides honest, transparent numbers, exactly the kind of insights sponsors and stakeholders rely on when assessing the potential reach of a World Championship event.

“We’re confident that this partnership will result in a high-quality analysis of our tournament’s performance and the audience data we’ll report to our partners. It’s a collaboration built on trust, shared values, and a deep understanding of what it takes to elevate esports to the next level.”

The Starladder Budapest Major 2025 will be held from November 24 to December 14 in Budapest, Hungary. The event will bring together the world’s top 32 Counter-Strike 2 teams to compete for a $1.25 million prize pool and one of the most prestigious titles in esports.
