SOFTSWISS wins Eventex Award for Kids Camp: How family support changes employee experience
SOFTSWISS, a global tech company providing software for the iGaming industry, won an Eventex Award 2025 for its Kids Camp in the Corporate Event category. The camp was designed to support employees by engaging their children in a unique, cross-border experience. The recognition places SOFTSWISS alongside Disney, Nike, and Netflix, which also won this awards.
In August 2024, SOFTSWISS brought together 65 children of its employees in the Masurian Lake District in Poland, known for its compelling nature. The week-long family camp welcomed participants from SOFTSWISS partners’ development centres in Poland, as well as team members from Georgia, Cyprus, Germany, and beyond.
Kids Camp was not just a summer event but a thoughtfully crafted initiative reflecting the company’s people-first values. What set it apart was a mix of custom-developed educational modules, immersive activities, and an inclusive approach to help participants from different cultural backgrounds connect. The children enjoyed a hackathon where they tackled real-world issues, such as flooding problems in Brazil, and created thoughtful gifts for children affected by these disasters.
“One of my favourite aspects of this project was that the activities at the camp were not just about fun and play, but also had an impact, where the children got to experience supporting others,” added Shannon Jones, a jury member of the Eventex Award 2025.
Organising an eco-friendly, cross-border, multicultural event for children and families within a company that operates a hybrid work model was logistically demanding – yet SOFTSWISS was proud to deliver a memorable experience that celebrated diversity, trust, and care.
“Kids Camp is a powerful example of how we care for our team beyond the workplace. It reflects our belief that a supportive culture embraces the whole person, not just the employee. At SOFTSWISS, we truly stand for the value of family, recognising it as an integral part of our people’s lives. This award reaffirms that meaningful, people-first initiatives rooted in care and connection can build stronger teams, lasting trust, and a genuine sense of belonging,” mentioned Liudmila Glasunova, Co-Chief HR Officer at SOFTSWISS.
The Kids Camp reflects a broader mindset at SOFTSWISS – one that values connection, wellbeing, and the everyday experiences that shape a resilient workplace culture. Throughout the year, the company supports its global team through initiatives like Movember and Pink October, mental health programmes, professional development support, as well as corporate events and team fests that bring people together across borders. It’s all part of a lasting commitment to fostering a workplace where people feel empowered, connected, and cared for – both on and off the job.
The Eventex Awards is one of the most well-known celebrationsin the world of events and experience marketing. In 2025, the 15th edition of the Eventex Awards took place. The winners were chosen from 1,239 entries from 59 countries and six continents.
