years of important milestones, meetings, and successful projects on the
common path of positive change for the development of Slovakia. These 30

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
We prepared for you the Frequently Asked Questions to make your visit and experience truly memorable but also predictable. Let’s look through the questions and answers that we prepared for you as a tool that serves as a self-help resource.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT FROM THE FESTIVAL OF FUTURE?
During three days, you can look forward to discussions, chats, and presentations on the MAIN STAGEs, as well as to practical TOPICAL FOCUS EVENTs. You can also join us for Health Check Day, the AmCham Mini Cinema, or the Coaching Testing Corner. Feel free to enjoy the festival-like atmosphere outside with street food, beer, a chill-out zone, a co-working zone, or walk through „The Alley of the Future“.

WHERE IS THE EVENT TAKING PLACE AND HOW DO I GET THERE?
The Festival of Future takes place in Jurkovičova tepláreň located at Bottova 1 Street, near the Sky Park offices and in The Spot. The best way to reach it is by taxi, on foot or by public transportation (bus stop “Čulenova” - 40, 50, 70, 78, 88). Be sure to check in. You will receive a nice badge with your credentials. It is important to wear it as it will provide you with useful information and allow you to enjoy various benefits.
WHERE CAN I PARK MY CAR?
Arriving by car is also an option. You can park at NIVY MALL or EUROVEA MALL; these options are free for the first three hours but a little further from the venue. For direct parking, you can park under Jurkovičova tepláreň in the ALTO parking lot, which is a visitor-paid service. The entrance to the parking lot is from Bottova Street.
WHERE CAN I LEAVE MY STUFF?
A cloakroom will be available in Jurkovičova tepláreň, down the stairs, next to the bathrooms.
WHERE CAN I NETWORK?
For networking opportunities, arrive at 8:30 AM to enjoy prosecco, coffee, or orange juice at the DOT Café’s Networking Corner. Coffee breaks and lunches provide excellent opportunites to meet new people and connect with business partners.
WHERE CAN I EAT?
Standard catering is available during all three festival days. You can choose lunch at Restaurant WERK or street food from Foodstock located outside the venue.
WHERE CAN I WORK DURING THE DAY?
In case you need to catch up on some work during the festival you can sit down and work at the DOT cafe located in the lobby on the ground floor. However, we have also prepared the Spot Co-Working zone outside the Jurkovičova tepláreň or ALTO Relax Zone for you.
HOW SHOULD I REGISTER?
The Festival of Future lasts for three days and consists of more than 15 event options. We warmly invite you to register for any of the selected events whether it is a MAIN STAGE or a TOPICAL FOCUS EVENT or a SPECIAL EVENT. But then we count on your presence. Beware that you need to register for each event separately if you wish to attend several events on different days. As the capacities are limited, the festival doesn’t allow simultaneous attendance at different stages, except for the AmCham Mini Cinema, Health Check Day, and the Alley of the Future.
CAN MORE PEOPLE FROM ONE COMPANY ATTEND?
Each person just needs to register separately to ensure everyone has their own badge, which serves as the key to the festival of the future. To make the process smooth, please note the following:
- Each company can have up to two guests for main stage events each day.
- Patron members enjoy the benefit of registering up to three guests for main stage events each day.
- For the Topical Focus Events, the limit is one person per company per event.
HOW CAN I BUY TICKETS?
Tickets are not available for purchase. The event is exclusively tailored for AmCham Slovakia’s members and our guests. But what about watching the content online?
HOW CAN I WATCH THE EVENT ONLINE?
The online stream won’t be available, but the recording will be available after the event.
HOW SHOULD I DRESS?
Business Casual is the right choice. We want you to feel comfortable. If you feel comfortable in high heels and business suits, that’s up to you. We will be wearing ZIK models to brighten our day.
WHAT IF I STILL HAVE QUESTIONS?
For any further inquiries, please reach out to us at office@amcham.sk. For the full program and more details, visit the Festival of Future website or follow us on AmCham Slovakia’s social media. See you there!
WHAT ELSE SHOULD I KNOW?
After-party is a vital part of the festival. To end the celebrations appropriately on September 12, starting at 6 PM, AmCham Slovakia will celebrate its 30th birthday at Jurkovičova tepláreň. We invite you to register separately for AmCham’s Birthday Party. Looking forward to seeing you there.
