Split Tech City Festival

Amfiteatar Žnjan, Split · doors at 6 PM

Five editions in.

We bring in pros who talk about what actually matters right now. We light a spark for the ones just starting out, and a fresh one for the seniors who've been at it a while. In one fun evening, you add more valuable contacts to your phone than you do in an entire year.

Networking, Great Vibes by Kućna glazba

No filter. It really does look like that.

A new seaside stage, beneath the open sky.

Same recipe that made you fall for this festival: salt in the air, a stage under the stars, and nobody checking the time. The view's new. The feeling isn't.

First big event at the new amphitheatre — let's show off what Split has to offer.

Jasmin Alić

“I gave speeches all over the world, but what you have here — the coolest atmosphere I've ever felt.”

Talk business, ask for advice, and exchange ideas with others.

Networking, Dalmatian style.

We gather a progressive crowd — locals and visitors alike — the people actually moving this city forward. The best collaborations happen after the talks.

We've got no photos from the afterparty. It's that good.

When the slides end, the DJ takes over — and so does the networking, at the new spot in town.

Somebody's picking up the tab. (Thanks, legends.)
