Rovinj is set to transform into a hub for industry leaders when Weekend.19 unfolds from September 24-27. This year's festival promises to be the largest yet, spanning four days of conversations and inspiration across media, business, technology, healthcare, finance, investment, energy, education, and human resources. The event aims to connect diverse industries, experts, and ideas, positioning itself as a unique platform for collaboration.

Weekend.19 will delve into pressing societal issues, examining the current media landscape and the challenges facing journalism. Panels will tackle questions like why people avoid news and the pressures journalists endure. Discussions will also explore the evolving nature of media consumption, inspired by observations about changing news-gathering habits. The festival will feature talks on the "economy of words" and their significance as a brand currency.

Weekend has long outgrown the framework of a communication and media festival and today represents a unique platform that connects different industries, experts, and ideas. It is precisely this diversity that makes Weekend a unique platform for connecting people, ideas, and industries.

This year's lineup includes prominent figures such as Mate Rimac, founder of Rimac Group, who will discuss Croatia's tech scene and global competitiveness. Ulrik Haagerup, a proponent of constructive journalism, and Emil Tedeschi, CEO of Atlantic Grupa, will also share their insights. A new addition is Tech.Weekend powered by Telemach, expanding on last year's AI focus to cover a broader technological ecosystem, including advancements in Physical AI, with a demonstration by Abysalto's humanoid robot.

This event also offers an apology to Wen-Ru, and this oversight is a series of unfortunate coincidences. We did not do well, and I apologize to him and ensure this will be the last time such a thing happens.
