Who can come, how do I get in, what do I get, does it cost anything. The table below answers all four. No amount has been published yet, because none has been decided.

General access

We reserve your place now and send you the access terms and the price in October 2026, before they are made public. Nothing is paid at registration.

Startup: application to the Startup Pitch

We select between 8 and 12 AI startups from Romania and the region. A 5-minute pitch, plus 3 minutes of questions.

Youth team: Youth Challenge

Teams of 2-4 people: secondary school students, university students or young founders up to the age of 25. Registration is usually done by the supervising teacher.

Company: request a proposal

We send you the packages that fit what you want to achieve. Prices are shared on request and are not published.

Speaker proposal

The programme on the main stage and the technical stage is editorial: we assess the subject and what you can show, not the company you come from. A partner can propose a talk on the same terms as anyone else.
