Weekend.20

Eight festivals. One roof.

The twentieth edition of Weekend brings eight parallel festivals under one roof, in Rovinj, September 2027.

For a century and a half, tobacco was made in this building. To one generation, Rovinj and Ronhill meant the same thing. The factory fell silent, but the building remained — and once a year, at the end of September, it fills again with the smoke of conversation, laughter, panels and meetings that don’t end before three in the morning.

Technology, energy, human resources, finance, investments, healthcare, education — and at the heart of it all, the thing that started everything back in 2008: media and communications. Each sub-festival breathes on its own, yet they all breathe in the same space, at the same time, under the same blue Istrian sky.
