What can be expected from 12th edition of Combis Conference, announced Renee Saboti-Slovenc, director of Combis Conference: "Our intention is to cover 360 degrees of Conference experience and to prepare inspirational IT and non-IT content for each participant, to ensure strong networking, and relaxing programme. Every year we strive to make an ideal atmosphere and to enable different (and better) Conference experience, which, in the end, will create added value for each participant. This is the reason why we put stronger accent on gamification, through “play” we want to create better experience for all participants, not just in leisure and relaxing part of the Conference, but also in the part dedicated to expert IT topics. Our goal is to enable participants to feel the change in their mindset, thus they will achieve more quality and faster digital day-to-day business and create added business value."
