The dizzying pace with which the world is evolving cause that organizations face new challenges. New technologies, dynamic lifestyle changes, population migrations - these are just some of the factors that change the rules of the game on the market. Current strategies are becoming insufficient, and artificial intelligence is increasingly playing a key role in this transformation.

Our conference consists of two parts that form a harmonious whole. During the scientific part, the latest research results are presented and interdisciplinary ideas are discussed. This is where scientists and management practitioners meet to shape the future together. The second part is a business laboratory. Here, traditional panel sessions undergo a metamorphosis into moderated meetings and networking with entrepreneurs, representatives of chambers of commerce and local government authorities.
