The first Tech Race Summit, taking place in Warsaw on 10 September, is sold out, but its technology programme will be available to professionals worldwide through online access. The new cross-industry summit organized by SOFTSWISS brings together around 1,000 attendees and more than 40 international speakers, concentrating technology knowledge that often remains divided between industries and companies.
Technology is moving faster than any single industry can follow alone. AI is changing software engineering and product development, while infrastructure, cybersecurity, data, and high-load architecture are evolving alongside it. Tech Race Summit creates a new meeting point for these conversations in Central and Eastern Europe, bringing global expertise to Warsaw and sharing it beyond the venue through online access.
Across three stages – the Vision Track, Solution Track, and Experiment Track – speakers from technology, fintech, banking, entertainment, and other digital industries will compare what is happening now, what works in practice, and where technology may be heading next.
One of Tech Race’s key distinctions is bringing major infrastructure providers that rarely share the same stage into one programme. AWS, Oracle, Cloudflare, Fastly, Gcore, ScyllaDB, ClickHouse, and Coralogix will bring different perspectives on AI infrastructure, security, real-time data, observability, high-load systems, and the future of internet infrastructure.
This technical expertise is joined by headliners who have first-hand experience of major technology transformations. Andrey Doronichev, CEO of OPTIC and former Google executive, worked on YouTube as the internet shifted from desktop to mobile, including leading YouTube Mobile. At Tech Race, he will turn that experience towards the next major shift and examine how AI is transforming industries and work.
He is joined by Mikita Mikado, Co-Founder of PandaDoc, who built the company to a $1 billion valuation; Dhiraj Mukherjee, who co-founded Shazam before smartphones and app stores existed; and Javier Verdura, Global Director of Product Design at Tesla. Together, their experience adds a first-hand view of how major technology shifts move from early ideas to products and businesses used at scale.
Sergey Kastsukevich, CTO at SOFTSWISS, comments: “Technology knowledge is often fragmented across companies and industries, even when teams are solving similar problems. Tech Race brings those perspectives together – from people who have built global technology businesses to the companies behind the infrastructure they run on. The goal is to give technology leaders a clearer view of what is changing and what deserves their attention next.”
Tech Race Summit takes place on 10 September 2026 in Warsaw. While the physical event is sold out, online tickets remain available worldwide, with selected sessions streamed live and session recordings accessible for 14 days after the summit.
