Combis Conference organized by the Croatian systems integrator Combis, in two days brought together around 300 participants from areas of financial and telecom sectors, government and industry. The specificity of this information-business Conference, intended for the end-users of ICT solutions and services, is equal representation of all segments of ICT business, from applications through services and IT infrastructure to communication technology.
Under the main topic of this year's, fourth Combis Conference, "Exploration. Innovations. ICT.", to participants were presented various ways in which ICT solutions and services can boost innovation as a powerful driver of progress and development. Total of 21 presentations and case studies were held. Past two days of the Conference in Novi Vinodolski were marked by rich accompanying program, where participants were able to socialize in a friendly atmosphere with an informal exchange of views and experiences with presenters.
"We wanted for this Combis Conference to be different, to be a stimulus for new ideas and new projects. I have no doubt that during the presentations and conversations we really managed to initiate new joint business successes. We were able to highlight many challenges which are ahead of us, but what is perhaps more important, we have put forward good ideas to solve them, and I am confident that we will realize many of them even before than we think." – said Combis CEO, Ivan Gabrić at the Combis Conference closing ceremony.
The most visited events of the Conference were the round table on topic "From innovative potential to innovations," keynote lecture "12 myths about innovation", by PhD. Miroslav Mađarić from KBC Zagreb, and the Fight Club on topic "Original vs. copy" in the co-organization with Croatian Web Developers Association CROWD.
