Three days of outstanding presentations and inspiring interactions at the NetWork 12 conference enriched the digital landscape of Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as the region, strengthening innovation and connections among industry leaders. Organized by the agency Communis, the conference hosted over 1,100 participants, transforming Neum into a regional hub for technological innovation and professional dialogue.
“The NetWork 12 conference pushed boundaries again this year in multiple ways,” stated Damir Dizdarević, the conference content director. “We had the highest number of registered attendees and lectures compared to all previous years, and the business day was further enriched with sessions and panels covering topics of interest for all citizens and companies in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In the technical segment, the spotlight was on lectures about artificial intelligence, as well as a keynote from one of the most renowned cybersecurity experts, Paula Januszkiewicz, who shared the latest trends in cybersecurity.”

Dizdarević added that this year’s conference responded to an increased interest among attendees in non-technical topics relevant to daily life. “We introduced sessions on psychology, health, and project management, which drew significant attention from the audience. Besides the lectures, networking and interaction among participants remained a prominent and emphasized aspect of the conference,” he highlighted.
The focus was on key digital trends shaping business and social processes, encompassing everything from eCommerce and FinTech to the digitalization of healthcare and public services for citizens. Panel discussions and lectures covered diverse topics, including challenges in digital banking and advanced technologies applied in everyday life.
The significance of the NetWork 12 conference lies not only in its capacity to gather experts from various technological and business fields but also in its role in positioning Bosnia and Herzegovina on the map of leading digital events in the region. Discussions spurred in-depth analyses and presented concrete steps toward a digital future, further cementing the conference’s status as a central venue for knowledge and experience sharing.
Representatives from Communis expressed satisfaction with the success of this year’s event, stating, “The conference exceeded all our expectations in terms of content quality and participation. The numbers look like this: over 1,100 participants, 102 speakers, 90 lectures, and 365 days of our dedicated work. We are proud to be the organizers and hosts of an event that not only promotes digital transformation but also creates space for strengthening innovation and connections. Besides professional networking and expert lectures, we strive to enrich the program with quality entertainment, so this year, we featured an exclusive concert by Zlatan Stipišić Gibonni and an exciting performance by the band Blackberries. Under the fresh impressions of a successful event, we are pleased to announce the date for the NetWork 13 conference, scheduled for October 22-24, 2025.”
