Weekend. 19 festival announces expanded program in Rovinj
The program for the 19th edition of Weekend. 19 has been released. This year is described as the largest and most ambitious to date, with activities beginning on Thursday, September 24, at the Grand Park Hotel in Rovinj.
The event expects to host over 7,500 visitors and more than 200 speakers from the region and around the world. The festival is expanding into eight distinct programs, including Tech. Weekend, Finance. Weekend, Energy. Weekend, Investment. Weekend, Health. Weekend, and Education. Weekend.
To accommodate the growth, the event will utilize 11 halls across two locations: the old Tvornica duhana Rovinj and the Grand Park Hotel. A new venue called 'the dome' will also be introduced for business pitches. Program director Tomo Ricov noted that the festival's success relies on an informal atmosphere that encourages people to meet, exchange ideas, and initiate collaborations.
