What impressed me the most was the focus on actionable learning and networking. Podim offered a well-curated program designed to maximize our time and provide meaningful insights. The engaging keynote speeches, panel discussions, and interactive workshops left me inspired and motivated to take my own endeavors to the next level.

Maribor is a beautiful city and even If you don’t have any meetings or anything, you have time to enjoy the city a little bit.

Conferences can be a great way to develop new ideas and gain experience, but PODIM is a level higher.

The conference itself, the speakers, especially the matchmaking in the Deal Room, it’s amazing.

Even if you’re coming from anywhere in the world and you really are looking for the next great thing, you should be here.

I think the value of human-to-human interaction is just very difficult to replace. Even the best online interaction platforms lose a lot of that value. It’s just very different to be person-to-person.

Come to Maribor, it’s beautiful. People are friendly, food is good, great wine. You can’t go wrong coming here even if you want to walk in the beautiful park.

Podim is certainly THE startup event to visit in the region!

It’s easy to connect at Podim. Amidst the growing size of other conferences, Podim retains its human scale, fostering diversity and accessibility.

The highlight for me is just the sheer number of startups and investors. I haven’t seen this kind of concentration of both startups and investors from this region anywhere else.

I’m overwhelmed by the spirit and energy, the number of people interested in innovation and over a thousand people that are into this entrepreneurial culture.

I would recommend everybody to come to Podim because it’s a great ecosystem, a great network near to your and our home as well. For all the Austrians out there and all the rest of the region, join the meeting next time.
