PHOTO GALLERY
What experiences do the participants have from previous years?
What I really liked about the event is that you had all these presentations and a small competition that made the whole thing a little more exciting to watch and to participate in.
I liked the format and organization of this event, which is the best model I’ve seen so far. It is an interactive platform where we can share experiences and discuss how to move forward with innovation, especially in the field of electrification.
Innovation of energy encourages dialogue between different sectors and industries – this is a precondition for innovation and the main reason why we sponsored this event.
I really love the conference mainly because it tries to integrate various stakeholders working in the energy and business sectors. It tries to bring them to one place and encourage them to talk.
If you are hesitant to sign up because you are concerned about receiving too many emails in the future, we can assure you that we will only get in touch with you not more than once a week to let you know about upcoming events and limited-time offers.

What is the difference between in-person and online attendance?
If you join us physically in Ljubljana, you will have the opportunity to meet all the speakers personally and be able to network with other participants more easily. Imagine the memories you have from previous conferences you have attended with friends and colleagues from all over the world. There is nothing more exciting than attending a groundbreaking presentation or sharing a relaxed evening with colleagues, in a fascinating pre-Christmas beautifully decorated city, after a conference day of intense training. Nothing will ever replace the beauty and joy of face-to-face human interaction and scientific business collaboration.
Yet we understand that in-person attendance can be challenging for some of you. So, we are making it easy for online audiences to attend and project their presentations to other virtual attendants via live streaming. Both audiences will be able to interact with the speakers, ask questions and participate in polls in the same manner. Collaborative activities will be open for online attendees to join virtually. As an online participant, you can expect cutting-edge, technological, and interactive functions that will enable you to engage equally in the event, network, and expand your professional networks. We have worked hard in the past two years to perfect the field of online events.
Are networking opportunities available for those who attend the conference online?
As an online participant, you can expect cutting-edge, technological, and interactive functions that will enable you to engage equally in the event, network, and expand your professional networks. We have worked hard in the past two years to perfect the field of online events.
The conference consists of live-streamed talks. By attending online, you will have the opportunity to interact with the speakers, ask questions, and participate in polls just like the live participants can. During the breaks, breakout rooms will be provided for additional networking with fellow colleagues.
You needn’t worry about spending time and money on travelling to be physically present in a conference hall. You can still achieve professional growth, be motivated, learn, and exchange knowledge via livestreaming, the chat, and the Q&A sessions.
