AmCham Slovakia

Welcome to the Festival of Future Digital Day!

This day is not about presenting concrete digital solutions or tools. Instead, it’s about exploring how digitalization impacts every facet of our existence—from the rules that govern us and how we work, to how technology itself will transform our daily lives and how we can make it secure.

Our goal is for you to leave with questions, not answers, and to discuss these questions at work, at home, with your children, and with friends because they are important!

The aim is to ignite discussions about technology from various perspectives: finance, energy, the future of work, social responsibility and ethics, legislation, security, and the application of AI across sectors and industries.

Engage with experts, participate in discussions, and brainstorm new ideas. Let’s shape a path toward a more innovative and inclusive digital future together.
