Set against the stunning backdrop of Ljubljana, #ECREA2024 was more than just an academic conference. From thought-provoking sessions to lively social events, the four-day gathering was packed with energy. The event kicked off at the iconic Cankarjev Dom with a seamless registration process, where attendees picked up their badges using personalized QR codes.
Day 2 shifted the action to the University of Ljubljana’s Faculty of Social Sciences, where the core academic program unfolded. A mobile app kept everyone informed, while attendees enjoyed engaging discussions, diverse presentations, and panels that sparked fresh ideas. Beyond the academic sessions, #ECREA2024 offered participants moments to connect and celebrate.
One of the highlights was the Memory Wall, where attendees shared their thoughts and memories from past conferences. The photo wall became a popular spot for capturing moments with colleagues and friends, adding a touch of nostalgia and community spirit to the event.
The celebrations continued into the night with the much-anticipated #ECC10 Ljubljana Conference Party, held at Križanke, a stunning historical venue in the heart of the city. The atmosphere buzzed with excitement as participants let loose, enjoying the vibrant music and festive ambiance!
As the conference drew to a close, the final sessions on September 27 were met with a mix of reflection and anticipation. The grand closing at the FDV Velika Predavalnica was the perfect opportunity for us to express our gratitude to everyone involved. From the local organizing committee to our keynote speakers—Dr. Vesna Leskošek and Dr. Jelena Kleut—and all the participants, the success of #ECREA2024 was a true team effort. We are particularly grateful to our many partners and collaborators, including Turizem Ljubljana, Jezeršek Catering, Slovely, DJ NinaBelle, and numerous others who contributed to the smooth running of the conference.
One of the key themes of #ECREA2024 was sustainability. With innovations like a paperless approach, plant-based meals in compostable packaging, and reusable glass bottles for all participants, we set a new standard for environmentally conscious conference planning. These efforts not only minimized the event’s environmental footprint but also inspired attendees to adopt more sustainable practices in their own professional and personal lives.
As we reflect on the success of ECREA 2024, we are already looking ahead to the next chapter in this exciting journey – ECREA 2026, which will take place in Brno, Czech Republic. We can’t wait to welcome you to another unforgettable gathering in two years’ time.
Thank you for joining us in Ljubljana and for making #ECREA2024 such a resounding success!
See you next year!
