The SIA Summit 2025 isn’t just about workshops and sessions — it’s about shared moments, unexpected connections, and experiences that make it truly special. Beyond the agenda, you’ll have the chance to explore Slovenia’s vibrant entrepreneurial and creative ecosystem, and take part in fun, community-building activities that bring people together in meaningful ways.

At the heart of it all is Center Rog — more than a venue, it’s an icon of innovation and inclusion. This dynamic space merges design, entrepreneurship, and social impact, creating the ideal environment for young changemakers from around the world to connect, collaborate, and create.

With state-of-the-art facilities for workshops, exhibitions, hackathons, and prototyping, Center Rog offers space not just to think — but to build. Here, participants will engage with local residents, artists, and entrepreneurs, exchanging perspectives in an open, accessible, and hands-on setting.

The SIA Summit 2025 at Center Rog is where ideas will spark, talents will meet, and the future will begin to take shape.
