LOCATION

Grand Park Hotel, Rovinj.

Health.Weekend takes place in the Grand Park Ballroom — one of the most beautiful views on the Adriatic.

Health.Weekend is the largest regional festival dedicated to healthcare, connecting medicine, the pharmaceutical industry, technology, clinical practice, and the business sector within a broader social and professional context. In its inaugural edition, it brings together key stakeholders of the healthcare system—doctors, pharmacists, healthcare professionals, entrepreneurs, and decision-makers—with the goal of understanding the changes that are already shaping the future of healthcare.

HOW WAS HEALTH.WEEKEND CREATED?

Health.Weekend was created out of the need to take healthcare topics out of closed professional circles and place them in the same framework where Weekend.19 has been sparking conversations about society, technology, the economy, and the future for years. Today, health is simultaneously a medical, social, technological, and market issue—and it is from this perspective that Health.Weekend designs its program.

WHY YOU SHOULDN’T MISS THE FIRST EDITION?

Health.Weekend brings together a targeted audience that traditional healthcare congresses rarely reach — healthcare professionals, the pharmaceutical industry, tech companies, entrepreneurs, media, and the business sector all in one place. The program covers current and emerging topics, featuring international speakers from systems that are ahead of our region, in an environment that encourages dialogue, the exchange of perspectives, and understanding of changes before they become the standard.
