GoTech World, the largest B2B expo-conference with IT and digital solutions in Central and Eastern Europe, will this year have more than 40 world-renowned speakers from leading technological fields, who will take to the 11 dedicated stages. They will debate the latest trends in the field, addressing a variety of industry topics.
The concept of this year’s edition of GoTech World represents an expansion of the theme proposed last year – participants will have the opportunity to explore various perspectives on the ways in which the future of society is shaped by emerging technologies that go beyond the scope of artificial intelligence. These topics, among others, will be presented by numerous world-renowned experts, who will share their knowledge with visitors taking part in the sessions on each stage.
At the same time, the 13th edition of GoTech World comes with news for the public – two new stages will be part of the structure of the event, being relevant to current trends in technology – Build.AI Stage, dedicated to developers who want to receive clear guidance on using AI to improve application development or to create their own AI, and the Software Architecture Stage, where developers will be able to learn more about the architectures that will support the next generation of digital solutions. Moreover, the Digital Marketing & e-Commerce Stage returns this year, with topics of interest to marketers from all industries.
