This is turning out to be a hugely positive week for me.
Firstly, I welcomed on board my first official partner to try and realise my concept of the Dalmatian ‘Olympics’ of Traditional Dalmatian Games, an attend to preserve and celebrate the individual heritage of Dalmatian villages before some of these traditions are lost. You can read more about the concept in Introducing the Traditional Dalmatian Games Olympics: Get Involved!
Yesterday’s fun was at Kaptol Cinema for the annual 3T – Tourism, Travel and Technology conference, which was a very inspiring and GREAT networking event. In addition to presenting Unlocking Croatia’s 12-Month Authentic Tourism Potential, there was a great chat with conference organiser Oleg Mastruko on how Croatia can compete in the modern multi-polar tourism world. Great energy and an awesome list of speakers.
Tonight is one of my favourite events of the year, where seemingly all the positive energy in Croatia gathers for one night – the EY Entrepreneur of the Year award. It always feels as if the future of Croatia is gathered in one room for an evening.
And as if that was not enough fun, a nice addition to the weekend at Hotel Westin in Zagreb on Saturday, for a conference which is bound to throw out some very cool suggestions. Dangerous Ideas 2, an initiative from the Centar party nd FNF (and no, I am not interested in Croatian politics, but I do support cool ideas) to invite people to pitch their ideas for a better Croatia.
“All the good stuff you wish could happen in Croatia but nobody dares to implement.”
Each speaker will have just 10 minutes to get their points across, and there is a very impressive list of speakers, and I am grateful for the invitation to contribute my 10 minutes. You can see the timetable and list of speakers below. Everyone is welcome, and the event will be streamed live here.
I will be presenting my concept, the Vukovar Card, a New Deal for Eastern Croatia, which you can learn about in this video from my channel.
The conference is open to all, and entrance is free, starting at 10:00 at Hotel Westin.
The latest sprinkling of positivity in Croatia – there is a lot of it about these days.
See you there!
