SOFTSWISS Young Fest: Uniting a Global Team in a Hybrid World

SOFTSWISS brought together all of its employees, team members from its Polish development centres, and representatives from partner companies for the Young Fest – a four-day celebration on the Mediterranean coast. The event marked the final chapter in a series of festivities dedicated to SOFTSWISS’ 15th anniversary.

Fifteen years is a significant milestone for a business that began with just three people and has since grown into a global tech company with over 2,000 employees. Today, the team spans offices in Malta and Georgia, development hubs in Poland, and remote locations across the globe, including Cyprus, Italy, Portugal, Brazil, South Africa and others.

Fifteen years is more than enough time to prove what the company is capable of in business. SOFTSWISS has earned a reputation as a reliable technology partner for the iGaming industry, building a portfolio of over 1,200 client brands around the world.

Viewed from a personal perspective, 15 years marks the beginning of a journey – a time of discovery, ambition, and constant decision-making. This idea became a central theme of the event, reflecting the dynamic and fast-paced nature of the iGaming industry, where curiosity, innovation, and bold thinking continue to shape the future.

Young Fest lasted four days and combined a unique mix of parties, team-building activities, learning sessions, and, of course, work – all in an unconventional setting. SOFTSWISS employees embraced the spirit of freshmen, easily balancing working, collaboration, and late-night networking events.

What made the festival programme truly special wasn’t just the headlining acts like Little Big, Intelligency and more – but also the performances by SOFTSWISS employees and partner companies. Team members took to the main stage as DJs – including Ivan Montik, Founder of SOFTSWISS – bringing their own energy and vibe to the celebration.

“I’m happy to bring everyone together and connect in person,” said Ivan Montik, Founder of SOFTSWISS. – These days were filled with meaningful conversations, tons of fun, and a true festival spirit. I’m proud that even after 15 years in business, we still maintain a spirit of innovation, boldness, and self-expression. Young Fest is a perfect reflection of that mindset.”

“Bringing together 2,000 people from 30 countries for four days on the Mediterranean coast was no small feat,” said Liudmila Glasunova, Co-Chief HR Officer at SOFTSWISS.

“But with a distributed workforce – some in offices across different countries and others working remotely – this was an important opportunity for everyone to connect in person. Nothing builds team spirit better than real, human interaction,” – mentioned Liudmila Glasunova.

SOFTSWISS is no stranger to large-scale events. One of its previous internal initiatives, the SOFTSWISS Values Fest, was named Best Corporate Event at the Global Eventex Awards 2024.
