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.

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.

I must say it’s one of the best organised conferences so far!

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.

It’s beautiful. It’s so green here, it’s hilly. It’s gorgeous. I want to come back and see the countryside.

Podim is always changing and evolving; that’s why I keep coming back.

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

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.

The startup ecosphere in our region is really good quality, there really are enough investors, there are enough corporates, there is a lot of media involved, there are good startups here and I think this is one of the prime hubs to meet all of these people.

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

It’s the place to be!

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.
