In the year when the .RS domain is celebrating its tenth birthday, the most popular annual Internet Conference in Serbia and the region, DIDS 2018, will be held for the ninth time. It is organized by the Registry of the National Internet Domain of Serbia Foundation (RNIDS) on 6th and 7th March at the Hotel Metropol Palace in Belgrade.
The creative concept of the event was done by the same team as in previous years: Lazar Bošković, AgitPROP, Creative Director, and Miodrag Veselinović, Metropolis, as Art Director. Dragana Pešić – Lević, Blink2, is in charge of organizing the event and media relations, while Predrag Milićević and Jelena Ožegović take care of the DIDS on behalf of the organizers. A new internet site was also created at dids.rs.
The slogan of this year’s conference is The Guardians of Internet Identity, because internet identity is the common thread linking all thematic blocks of the Days of the Internet Domain of Serbia. For each theme, an action hero has been created, named after the theme of the block.
The first block of DIDS, titled “Cyber Personality” will address the very current topic – in Europe and worldwide – of the GDPR, the General Data Protection Regulation, which comes into force in the EU in late May and which will impact the way some companies in Serbia do business. Moderator Vladimir Radunović will discuss this regulation and other aspects of online privacy with participants in a panel debate. Thomas Rickert, attorney from Germany and the chair of the Names & Numbers Forum at “eco” – the Association of the Internet Industry – will be giving an introductory talk on this topic. The discussion will be joined by Cormac Callanan, CEO of Aconite Internet Solutions from Ireland, and Nevena Ružić, assistant to the general secretary of the office of the Commissioner for Information of Public Importance and Personal Data Protection.
The second block is titled “Digital Heritage” and will focus on digitalisation in culture and science, with moderator Tamara Vučenović PhD. Before the panel discussion, an introductory talk will be given by Matjaž Filo, manager of the IT sector at the University of Ljubljana Faculty of Social Sciences. Joining the debate will also be Adam Sofronijević PhD, deputy director of the Svetozar Marković University Library in Belgrade, and Nikola Božić, programme director of the Petnica Science Centre.
The third block, titled “Online Business”, will be moderated by Radomir Lale Marković, who will also be the main host of the Conference. To begin this block, Milovan Matijević and Branka Matijević, from the company “Mineco Computers” will present the results of the 2017 Digital Vitality Index of small, micro- and medium enterprises in Serbia study, carried out for the first time in Serbia. After that we will present to you few Serbian companies that have successfully made use of all the benefits of internet technology on the Serbian national domains: vivatravel.rs, garden.rs, archiplay.rs, iskonmode.rs, studiomaruska.rs and teglas.rs.
On 7th March, DIDS 2018 will also host the Regional TLD Forum – an industry gathering for representatives of national TLD registries from the region.
DIDS, as previously, will be free to attend for all visitors, subject to registration, which is necessary due to the limited number of places. Visitor registrations begin at the end of February, via the website at dids.rs and дидс.срб.
